Are you ready to take the lead in a fast-growing, flavour-driven business that’s transforming the UK foodservice market?

We’re partnered with a true innovator in world foods; a business that’s capturing the attention of chefs, contract caterers, and restaurant groups nationwide.

Their products bring bold, authentic flavour to professional kitchens across the UK, and their expansion in foodservice is showing no signs of slowing down.

• Take ownership of commercial negotiations, promotions, and pricing strategy
• Act as the face of a brand known for its quality, innovation, and energy

About You

You’ll bring:

• A strong network within UK foodservice, ideally across restaurants, contract catering, or education
• Proven experience in winning and growing new business
• Excellent commercial acumen - confident managing margins, pricing, and P&Ls
• A proactive, hands-on approach and passion for great food

Why Join?

This business is at a pivotal stage of growth, with big wins already achieved and major expansion plans in motion. You’ll be joining a team that values initiative, creativity, and the drive to make an impact.

It’s an opportunity to own your region, shape your strategy, and be part of something that’s truly on the rise.
