Road Freight Business Development Manager

Role: Road Freight Business Development ManagerLocation: ImminghamPackage: £40,000 - £45,000 + Car Allowance (£800 PCM), Bonus

We're working with a well-established, fast-moving logistics operator looking to strengthen their commercial team with a high-calibre Business Development Manager focused on road freight.

This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. It's about growth. Opening doors, winning new business, and building something meaningful in a market that still values relationships as much as rates.

The Role

You'll take ownership of developing new road freight business across the UK and European lanes, with a particular focus on full load, groupage, and time-critical solutions.

You'll be:

• Actively prospecting and winning new customers
• Building long-term, commercially valuable relationships
• Working closely with operations to ensure service delivery matches the sale
• Identifying opportunities across existing networks and untapped sectors
• Bringing structure and consistency to your pipeline

What We're Looking For

• Proven track record as a road freight business development manager (or similar)
• Strong understanding of UK & European transport markets
• Commercially sharp - you know where margin lives and how to protect it
• Self-sufficient - you don't need hand-holding to generate leads
• Credible with customers, from SMEs to larger corporates

The Opportunity

• Join a business with solid operational foundations and real capacity to grow
• Backing from leadership that understands freight, not just spreadsheets
• A chance to make a visible impact in a key location like Immingham
• Package designed to attract and retain high performers (base + bonus + car)
