Van Sales Driver

Role overview

This position offers the chance to manage your own sales territory while representing a well-known FMCG food brand across retail and foodservice customers in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The role combines driving, merchandising, relationship-building, and sales growth in a field-based environment, with early weekday starts that lead to earlier finishes.

What the role involves

• Take full ownership of an assigned territory and steadily expand the sales base within it.
• Maintain and strengthen relationships with existing customers across retail and foodservice channels.
• Introduce new products, support promotional activity, and improve in-store visibility and shelf placement.

• Room for career progression as the business continues to grow.
• A supportive team culture that values effort, celebrates success, and keeps management style practical rather than corporate.
