Just like being a tree surgeon, but different. Sales Demonstrator - UK and Europe Permanent Full-time Based in Stowmarket Travelling the UK and Europe demonstrating our class-leading chippers and shredders isn’t for everyone. Some of you will enjoy spending your evenings doing quotes, filling in tax returns and paying accountants. Some of you like nothing more than a rushed breakfast, skipping lunch and climbing trees in the cold winter air. You’re tough cookies. Good luck to you, and may you always buy a Timberwolf. But when you next sigh, or curse, or wonder what else is out there - think on this. You can use your knowledge, your CPC, chainsaw ticket, NPTC 2 and C1+E licence to do something different. Dare we say, better. You probably know a bit about us, our 30-year heritage, our impressive factory in Stowmarket and our class-leading machines. But not everyone knows about our easy-access service points and simple blade replacement. Not everybody has got to grips with the size difference between a feed mouth and the chipping aperture. Fewer still have seen how narrow a gap our tracked chippers can fit through. That (and much more besides) is where you will come in. As a Demonstrator in the Sales Team you will be out there with individual customers, at trade shows and events all over Europe. When you’re not seeing the world and winning new converts, you’ll be back at base planning more events, updating our system with notes and leads, helping with deliveries and installations, researching competitors and entertaining clients. This is no more a 9-5 than being a tree surgeon, the difference is you’ll get a regular salary, regular travel, regular hotel breakfasts, regular great coffee, regular opportunity to chat with other enthusiasts and a career that is anything but ‘regular’. Call 01449 765805 for more details or pop on our website for details and an application form in the About Us section under careers. wood chippers | shredders | professional
