Your Role

Join as one of our Sales Executives. If you're intelligent, hardworking and driven we would love to hear from you.

As a Sales Executive, you'll be targeted on securing new business with organisations across the UK, selling IT solutions on behalf of our partners (Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, Dell to name a few).

As you become established in the role you'll inevitably spend less time on building new business and instead focus on really enhancing those existing relationships you've built, selling more products into fewer clients.
