We work with some of the UK's best known brands, supplying everything from staff uniforms and welcome packs to point of sale for national branch networks. We run our own 16,000 sq ft production and fulfilment site and have a team of around 30. The role We are looking for an experienced quoter or estimator to take ownership of quoting for our sales team. This is a responsible role. You'll prepare quotes for our account managers and in many cases send them to clients on their behalf, so every price needs to be accurate, deliverable and make us the right margin. You'll also be expected to negotiate with suppliers on every order to get us the best price. Around half the role is quoting and buying. The rest is split between supporting our Business Development Manager and our Marketing Manager. It would suit someone who likes variety and can manage their own workload.
