This is a rare opportunity to join Schur Star Systems, a Division of Schur International, where innovation and tradition goes hand in hand.  The Schur business, which remains family owned, was established in 1846, and is one of Denmark’s oldest packaging businesses.

Schur Star Systems offers a unique concept consisting of the Schur Star packaging machine, and laminated, barrier, Schur Star bags, offering customers improved operational excellence, increased marketing opportunities and profit improvement.

Operating out of Germany, US and Australia, Schur Star Systems supplies a diverse range of customers in food, industrial, medical & healthcare sectors, with a growing sales portfolio in the UK.  Reporting to the Sales Director, the Regional Sales Executive will take a ‘solution sales’ approach to business development, as well as managing the growth of a small portfolio of existing accounts.

Your broad remit will include:

• Development of strong multi-functional relationships, both internally, and with customers, to ensure customer expectations are exceeded.
