The Role:
- Managing a regular contact cycle with existing customers to drive repeat orders and ongoing business
- Processing sales orders and coordinating dispatch and deliveries
- Handling inbound customer enquiries and responding quickly and professionally
- Following up on leads from the field sales team and making proactive outbound calls
- Preparing quotes and identifying upselling opportunities across the product range
- Managing customer accounts and sales activity using a CRM/order system (full training provided)
- Supporting invoicing, billing and general customer administration
- Producing basic sales reports to support performance tracking
- Assisting with trade shows, product launches and industry events
- Acting as a reliable and organised point of contact for customers and internal teams
About You:
- 1–2 years’ experience in internal sales, customer service, sales support or hospitality

- Highly organised with strong attention to detail
- Comfortable working with numbers, quotes and basic commercial processes
- Competent in Microsoft Office and general business systems
- Able to work independently within a small team environment
- Motivated to build a career in drinks sales
Nice to Have:
- Experience in beer, wine, spirits or the wider drinks industry
- Exposure to hospitality, wholesalers, pubs, bars or distributors
- Experience supporting field sales teams
- Familiarity with CRM systems such as BREWW or HubSpot
- Experience using digital tools to improve efficiency
- Full UK driving licence (useful for occasional events, not essential day-to-day)
Benefits:
- Competitive basic salary of £28,000 plus quarterly performance bonus (up to 10% OTE)
- A genuine opportunity to break into the drinks and beer industry
- Full training and onboarding provided
- Monday–Friday office-based working (Hammersmith, London)
