Walsall, West Midlands

Hours

Salary

£35,644 per annum

Love Joes is a family-run food business based in Walsall, West Midlands. We make and supply chicken products to foodservice customers across the UK — over 3,000 tonnes a year and growing.

We’re about 190 people strong, and we’re proud of the fact that over a quarter of our team have been with us for 10 years or more. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people feel part of something here — not just a number on a rota.

We’ve got brothers and sisters working here. Parents and children. Friends who started on the same week and are still here a decade later. That’s the kind of place this is.

Everything we do comes back to four values. They’re not posters on a wall — they’re how we recognise people, how we make decisions, and how we hold ourselves accountable.

Do What You Love — Bring energy and pride to your work. If you care about what you do, it shows.

Exceptional Service — Go the extra step. Whether it’s for a customer or a colleague, do it properly.

Continuous Improvement — Never stop learning. If something can be better, make it better.

Look After Each Other — We’re a team. We look out for each other, on the floor and off it.

This role is responsible for implementing sales and marketing strategies to regional-based customers, while achieving sales targets and driving growth across the territory.
