- Description
- First Choice Staff is recruiting for a Sales Manager to join a busy courier and freight forwarding company based close to Camberley
Established independent courier and freight-forwarding business, providing flexible UK courier solutions alongside worldwide air, sea, and road freight services. We support customers across a wide range of sectors by delivering tailored, time-critical, and reliable logistics solutions.
Our independence allows us to move quickly, adapt to customer needs, and build long-term partnerships based on service quality rather than rigid processes. As part of our continued growth, we are seeking a commercially driven Sales Manager to expand our customer base and help shape the future of our sales function.
The Role
As Sales Manager, you will be responsible for driving revenue growth across both courier and freight-forwarding services, securing new customers while managing and developing existing accounts.
This is a hands-on, autonomous role suited to a self-starter who is confident generating their own leads and building long-term relationships in a competitive logistics environment. The primary focus is new business acquisition, supported by ongoing account development.
You will work closely with an experienced operations team committed to delivering a high standard of service. As the business grows, this role is expected to expand in scope and influence.

Future Development
As the Company continues to grow, this role is expected to develop further. Subject to performance, the successful candidate will contribute to shaping sales strategy and may support or lead additional sales resource in the future.
We offer the flexibility, autonomy, and visibility that comes with working in an independent logistics business. Decisions are made quickly, individual performance is recognised, and personal contribution has a direct impact on company growth.
This is an opportunity for a motivated, commercially driven individual who wants to build something long-term and influence the future of the sales function.
