Fleet Recruitment is working exclusively with a well established vehicle solutions business to recruit a Business Development Manager to drive the expansion of its Daily Rental division.

This is a genuine new business position where you'll be responsible for identifying and winning customers requiring flexible vehicle rental solutions.
You'll target UK fleets, SMEs and corporate businesses, developing opportunities through proactive prospecting, networking, referrals and relationship building.

You'll be supported by a dedicated Sales Support team who manage invoicing, administration and vehicle return queries, allowing you to focus on what you do best, winning new business.
About You
You'll be an energetic, commercially driven sales professional who enjoys developing business and creating opportunities.
Ideally, you'll have experience within vehicle rental, leasing, contract hire or another fleet-related environment.
You'll also have:
- A proven track record of winning new business in the UK fleet market
- Experience selling to fleet operators, SMEs or corporate customers.
