- A commercial mindset, with the drive and ambition to make a difference to the business by delivering against targets
- Confidence being out on the field — the customer will be at heart of everything you do
- Food service experience or hospitality would be advantageous, but we have a great induction programme where we will teach you everything you need to know about our products and the business
