The Opportunity

Our client is looking for a bright, enthusiastic and organised individual to join their friendly sales support team in Uxbridge.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to start or develop their commercial career with a well-established business. It could particularly suit a recent college leaver, graduate or someone with some early office or customer service experience who is keen to learn, take on responsibility and build a long-term career.

You'll be joining a supportive and welcoming team where you'll receive plenty of exposure to customers, sales administration and the full order process.

  • Processing and monitoring customer orders
  • Keeping customer and CRM information accurate and up to date

  • Producing reports and organising information when required
  • Assisting with invoice queries, returns and customer issues
  • Supporting larger orders and projects through to completion

More importantly, our client is looking for someone who can demonstrate:

  • A bright, positive and enthusiastic approach
  • Strong organisation and attention to detail
  • Confidence communicating with customers and colleagues
  • Good written and verbal communication skills
  • A willingness to learn and take on new responsibilities
