Area Sales Manager - Cheltenham

Ever sold feed, fertiliser or agri-inputs while simultaneously discussing the weather, lamb prices and whether the neighbour's hedge is half a metre too tall?

If you have, then you'll probably fit right in.

We're looking for an Agricultural Area Sales Manager to join a long-established agricultural cooperative and take ownership of a thriving territory around Cheltenham. You'll be working with mixed and arable farmers, building relationships, spotting opportunities and helping customers get the products and support they need

This isn't a role where you'll spend your life in meetings or filling out spreadsheets.

It's about getting out on farm, understanding customers' businesses, becoming their trusted adviser and helping them make better decisions season after season.

What will you actually be doing?

You'll work closely with mixed and arable farmers across the region, providing practical product advice and identifying opportunities to support farm performance.

One day you might be strengthening relationships with long-standing customers.

The next, you'll be opening doors with new farming businesses and expanding your presence across the territory.

Either way, your success will come from your ability to build genuine relationships, understand what matters to farmers and deliver solutions that make a difference.

What's in it for you?

Let's be honest.

The best salespeople don't just move for money.

They move for autonomy, opportunity and the chance to work for a business they can genuinely believe in.

Here you'll get:

• An established territory with strong growth potential.

• The freedom to manage your area as if it were your own business.

• Support from a knowledgeable and friendly team.

• A competitive package including vehicle and benefits.

• A clear path for future progression within a stable and respected organisation.

Who are we looking for?

You'll already have experience selling into agriculture and a solid understanding of UK farming systems.

You know that successful sales in this sector aren't built on hard selling, They're built on credibility.

You're comfortable talking to farmers, spotting opportunities, and developing relationships that last for years rather than months.

If you've worked within the Midlands or Cotswolds farming community, even better.

Sound like you?

Then let's have a conversation.

No lengthy process. No pressure.

Just an informal and confidential discussion about the role, the business and whether this could be the right next step for you.
