Love building relationships and talking plants?

Looking for a role where your ideas are valued, and your work makes a difference?

Want to join a friendly, down-to-earth team in a growing horticultural business?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, family-run trade nursery supplying trees, shrubs, and perennials to the landscaping and construction industries.

With over 30 acres of production, they combine UK and European sourcing with in-house growing to deliver top-quality plants to a wide range of clients - from local landscapers and designers to national contractors and housebuilders.

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary (DOE)
• Supportive, family-run environment with a business that values initiative and teamwork - not rigid KPIs.
• Real autonomy and the chance to make an impact.
• A varied role covering sales, customer relationships, and plant advice.
• Collaborative culture - everyone pitches in when needed.
• Opportunities to grow your career as the business expands.

The Role

This is a brand-new position, created to support continued growth and strengthen customer relationships.
You'll be the link between customers, suppliers, and the nursery team - managing existing accounts while helping develop new business opportunities.

Day to day, you'll:

• Build and maintain strong relationships with both new and existing trade customers.
• Handle enquiries, prepare quotations, and follow up on orders.
• Advise on plant availability, specifications, and suitable alternatives.
• Identify and develop new customer relationships across the trade landscape sector.
• Work closely with the nursery and operations teams to ensure smooth order flow.
• Coordinate with suppliers and logistics to meet customer deadlines.
• Get involved in marketing activity - from promotions to social media updates.
• Help maintain stock awareness and order accuracy using internal systems (Growmaster)
• Take a flexible, hands-on approach, supporting colleagues where needed.
• This isn't a cold-calling role - it's about relationship building, problem solving, and ensuring customers get the right plants, at the right time, every time.

About You

• A commercial mindset and a background in horticulture
• Confident in your plant knowledge. You'll have the ability to advise customers on the best products for their needs.
• Experience in one or more of the following:
  • Nursery trade sales or buying
  • Commercial growing or plant production
  • Landscaping with plant sourcing experience
• Comfortable using IT systems and Excel.
