Vacancy Detail

Sales Manager

About you

You’re already in a good role, doing well, and probably not desperate to move. That’s fair. If you’re selling into fleets, have a few decent relationships, and know your way around a technical spec, this opportunity might be worth a look.

You’ll be someone who’s confident dealing with fleet managers, with experience in emergency services or something similar. You know how to build proper relationships and you’re not afraid to pick up the phone or walk into a depot and get a conversation going.

This role gives you the space to work how you like to work. No micromanaging. No red tape. Just a solid patch of business and the backing to grow it properly.

Your experience

• You’ve sold into fleet — ideally into emergency services, public sector or commercial transport

• You’re confident with technical sales and getting products specified the right way

• You manage your own time and keep your pipeline moving without being chased

• You’re comfortable pricing your own work and following it through

• You can talk to anyone — senior leaders, workshop teams, or project managers — and keep things professional

What you’ll be doing with your experience

You’ll be responsible for £3 million in business across reflective signage, emergency services graphics and vehicle livery. There’s a mix of established accounts and new business, with plenty of room to grow both.

You’ll be building relationships with fleet managers, getting Lakeside’s products specified at the right point, and working closely with converters to bring them on board and keep them there. It’s a hands-on role with lots of variety, exactly the sort of setup that suits someone who knows how to run their own patch and wants to do it properly.

About the company

Lakeside Group has been a trusted name in reflective signage and vehicle graphics for over 30 years. They work with emergency services, fleet operators and highways teams across the UK. Their products are top quality, ISO-certified, technically sound, and backed by strong partnerships with suppliers like Avery Dennison.

They’ve recently joined the Spandex Group, giving them the scale and support of a bigger business while keeping the feel of an independent, tight-knit team. Everyone pulls their weight, there’s no unnecessary faff, and the culture is built on trust, quality and getting the job done right.

Next steps

If you’re happy where you are but open to something that gives you more ownership, better backing, and a clear path to grow, let’s have a proper conversation. You’ll know quickly if it’s the right fit
