Sales Manager - North

We are a privately owned, family-run company specializing in articulated trailer contract hire and rental. With over 25 years of experience, we operate from state-of-the-art facilities and have built a strong reputation for excellence and reliability. Our fleet consists of approximately 3,000 trailers, and we continue to grow year on year through consistent profitability and a focus on customer satisfaction. This scale and capability position us as a leader in the trailer rental sector. We are now looking for a dynamic Sales Manager to help expand our market presence, drive innovation through trailer technology, and support our ambitious growth strategies.
