Business Development Executive

About EMY Hire

EMY Hire is a fast-growing, nationwide equipment hire company providing reliable, cost-effective hire solutions to businesses across the UK.

We specialise in supplying a comprehensive range of equipment, including plant machinery, powered access, welfare facilities, site accommodation and specialist equipment to the construction, infrastructure, renewable energy and events sectors.

With a strong commitment to customer service, competitive pricing and building lasting relationships, we're continuing to expand our customer base and strengthen our position within the UK hire industry.

As part of our continued growth, we're looking for a driven, ambitious and confident Business Development Executive to join our team based in Newton, Hyde.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated sales professional who enjoys building relationships, identifying opportunities and converting prospects into long-term customers.

At EMY Hire, business development is about much more than making sales calls. It's about understanding our customers' businesses, identifying their requirements and positioning EMY Hire as their preferred equipment hire partner.

You'll play a key role in developing new business opportunities, expanding our customer portfolio and contributing directly to the company's continued growth.

Previous experience within the equipment hire industry is not essential. We're more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, strong communication skills and a genuine passion for sales.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify, target and engage potential customers across a range of industries.
• Research and generate new business opportunities using LinkedIn, online research, networking and outbound prospecting.
• Build strong relationships with key decision-makers and develop long-term customer partnerships.
• Conduct regular, meaningful business development calls to identify customer requirements, upcoming projects and potential opportunities.
• Manage prospective customers through the sales process, from initial contact through to securing their first order.
• Develop existing customer relationships and identify opportunities to increase business.
• Accurately record leads, customer interactions and sales opportunities using EMY Hire's bespoke in-house CRM system.
• Monitor market activity, identify upcoming projects and recognise opportunities for growth.
• Work closely with our sales and operations teams to deliver excellent customer service.
• Work towards agreed sales activity targets, new business objectives and revenue growth goals.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience in business development, B2B sales, account management or a similar sales-focused role.
• Confidence in making outbound calls and approaching potential customers.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to identify commercial opportunities and convert them into business.
• Strong organisational and time-management skills.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with a desire to achieve results.
• Resilience, persistence and the confidence to handle rejection.
• Good computer skills and the ability to use a CRM system effectively.
• A genuine passion for delivering excellent customer service.

Experience in equipment hire, construction or related industries would be beneficial but is not required. Full product and systems training will be provided.

What We Offer

• Competitive basic salary, negotiable depending on experience.
• Performance-related commission structure.
• Monday to Friday working hours, 08:00 – 16:30.
• No weekend working.
• All recognised England and Wales bank holidays off.
• The opportunity to join an ambitious and growing company.
• A supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Full training on our products, services and bespoke CRM system.
• The opportunity to develop your own customer portfolio and build long-term relationships.
• Genuine opportunities for career progression as the business expands.
• The chance to make a real impact on the company's continued success.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role isn't simply measured by the number of calls you make.

It's about consistently identifying opportunities, having meaningful conversations, developing customer relationships and converting new prospects into profitable, long-term accounts.

We want someone who takes ownership of their sales pipeline, is motivated by achieving targets and takes pride in helping customers find the right solutions.

Why Join EMY Hire?

At EMY Hire, we believe that strong relationships, consistency and exceptional service are the foundations of successful business development.

We're not looking for someone to simply work through a list of phone numbers. We're looking for someone who wants to build their own portfolio of customers, develop their sales career and become an important part of our company's future.

If you're ambitious, confident, commercially driven and enjoy the satisfaction of winning new business, we'd love to hear from you.
