Regional Sales Manager - Hampshire Based - South Coast Territory - Conveyor Chains
A new opportunity has arisen for an experienced Regional Sales Manager to take ownership of the South Coast territory, including London.
This position reports directly to the UK Sales Manager and is focused on driving revenue growth through a blend of new business development and strategic account management.
Ideally, you'll be based in Hampshire to sit centrally within the territory, but we're also open to strong applicants based elsewhere along the South Coast who have a proven track record of successfully covering the region.
You'll be responsible for building a strong and sustainable pipeline, converting opportunities into long‑term partnerships, and increasing market share across a range of industrial sectors.
With an annual revenue target of around £1m, we're looking for someone who has consistently delivered against commercial goals and understands how to grow a territory with intent.
Around 40% of the role will focus on managing and developing existing accounts, ensuring customers receive a high level of service while identifying opportunities to expand revenue through established frameworks.
The remainder will centre on securing new business, developing a territory plan aligned with wider commercial objectives, and promoting a broad portfolio of mechanical components, engineered products and site services.
The customer base spans sectors such as Energy from Waste, aggregates, recycling, food and beverage, and laser fabrication, so experience selling into industrial environments will be highly advantageous.
You'll also be responsible for managing quotations, orders and customer interactions through the CRM system, maintaining accurate records, and providing regular forecasts and activity reports.
We are particularly interested in candidates already operating within the mechanical power transmission or conveyor chain sector.
Familiarity with the products, customer base and buying behaviours in this space will allow you to make an immediate impact and build credibility quickly.
It's also vital that you bring a strong track record of client retention.
This role requires someone who genuinely invests in long‑term relationships, spends time with their customers, and understands the commercial value of consistency, trust and ongoing engagement.
Keeping clients close — not just winning them — is a key part of the brief.
Success in this role requires strong negotiation skills, confidence presenting to senior stakeholders, and the ability to interpret technical requirements when working with engineered components.
Experience in solution‑based selling, territory planning and pipeline generation is important, along with a background in field‑based sales.
Candidates from industrial distribution or similar product areas will also be considered.
A relevant technical or commercial qualification would be beneficial, and a full UK driving licence is required.
This description outlines the core responsibilities of the role but may evolve in line with business needs.
You will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, a company car or car allowance, a commission/bonus scheme and additional benefits.
The business has also recently reviewed its internal structure to map out clear progression pathways — something many companies overlook.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you've been looking for, apply now or risk missing out.
To discuss the position in more detail, you can contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240.
You can also submit your CV and a member of the team will be in touch to talk through next steps. ....Read more...

Business Development Consultant - Drug Delivery Devices - Cambridge
We are seeking a Business Development Consultant to drive new business and take ownership of Programme Management activities for the development of next‑generation Drug Delivery Devices.
Based in Cambridge, you will lead multidisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists and physicists who are developing industry‑disrupting medical technologies, with a strong focus on Drug Delivery innovation.
Alongside managing programmes, you will remain hands‑on during project delivery, working closely with the team.
Part of your remit will also include supporting and developing junior colleagues, so experience mentoring or peer‑managing others would be highly advantageous.

Key skills include Business Development, Programme Management, Leadership and R&D Design experience.
The organisation offers an excellent salary and benefits package, enabling you to focus on delivering high‑impact work.
Benefits include enhanced pension, life assurance, medical insurance and a range of additional perks expected from a larger, well‑established company.
Candidates I have previously placed with this organisation have enjoyed exceptional career and skills development.
Several have even gone on to lead spin‑out ventures — a rare and exciting opportunity.
I anticipate strong interest in this position, so if it aligns with your experience, I recommend applying promptly.
To explore this opportunity further, contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240.
