· Identifying and targeting new OEMs in sectors we have a story to tell / sell.
· Maintain and where possible grow the two key major industrial distribution partners (c£4m).
· You’ll be pivotal in bringing the sales team ‘closer’ to the other parts of the business, as currently, we are too disconnected.

· Experience working with an industrial component manufacturer.
· Run teams who sell both via distribution channels and direct to OEMS (across Europe).
· Managed a sales budget of £5-£10million
· Personally managed multimillion industrial distribution relationships.
