About the Role
We are looking for a proactive, organised and customer-focused Sales & Marketing Executive to join our team. This is a varied role that combines front-of-house showroom sales with the planning and delivery of Wignall’s marketing activities.
The successful candidate will be confident working independently, providing excellent customer service, managing showroom enquiries and sales, while also coordinating marketing campaigns across the Wignalls Group of Companies.

Location & Working Arrangements
This role will be based primarily at our showroom in Newton Abbot town centre. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the showroom independently on a day-to-day basis, so confidence in working alone, taking initiative and providing excellent customer service is essential.
From time to time, flexibility will be required to provide cover or support at our Heathfield office, depending on business needs. A flexible and adaptable approach to working across both locations is therefore important.
