Nestled in an attractive rural location near Falkirk in Central Scotland, the Benholm team has worked hard over the last 30 years to establish a deep-rooted reputation as an industry leader, whilst staying true to our values as a welcoming, family owned and highly successful business providing and maintaining an unrivalled range of real and artificial plants to commercial clients across Scotland and the wider UK.
Having nurtured a strong network of local, national, and global growers - as well as artificial plant manufacturers, we provide clients with the finest domestic and exotic plants for offices, retail, hospitality and public sector spaces.
Reporting to the Head of Sales, the successful candidate will be responsible for establishing viable opportunities, contacting prospective customers, evaluating leads and booking sales meetings alongside selling to our extensive existing client base.

More importantly for you, sales isn't a job, it's a career and you are good at it.
You're probably doing well at the moment and love working in sales - but you want more.
More money, more fun, more opportunity.
