Full job description

INTRODUCTION

Established over 30 years ago, Anchor Safety has rapidly grown to become one of the UK’s leading suppliers of personal protective equipment (PPE,) corporate workwear, and safety-critical services.

Our innovative, reliable and customer-focused approach to keeping our customer's people safe has driven continual growth and exceptional customer loyalty. As a family based business, dedication to prompt personal service from friendly knowledgeable staff has become a hallmark of our success. A unique-to-market Value Proposition, proactive approach to meeting customer requirements, supported by same day despatch from our ever-increasing stockholding of quality products, enable us to achieve our goal of delivering excellence in PPE.

The Project Manager / Personal Assistant is a mission-critical role, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer and supporting her on a daily basis. The job holder will be primarily responsible for providing strategic sales, business improvement and project management support to the Anchor Safety Leadership Team. Initiating, scoping and executing client-facing projects as the business grows, they will be a significant contributor and enabler to the entire Anchor business.

This is a unique and unusual opportunity for an entrepreneurial all-rounder, with a Sales background, to take on real responsibility, facilitate the rapid future growth of the Anchor businesses, and potentially be a future Sales Director in the making.

Key Accountabilities and Deliverables

Scoping, planning and execution of client-facing business improvement projects
Facilitating and driving important sales and business development initiatives, through expert teams across the business
Leading internal system and process developments
Providing seamless operational and personal support to the COO in her day-to-day role
Other key accountabilities to be agreed as the role develops

Who are you? Personality and Experience

You'll understand - and can demonstrate in real time - modern consultative selling skills and techniques
You'll have at least 2-3 years front-line Business to Business Sales experience - but you know that you can add more at a strategic level
You'll know that you're a future Sales Leader - you just need an opportunity to set yourself aside from the crowd, and demonstrate your worth
You're a self-starter, who is tirelessly looking for opportunities to add value to the business
You're analytical, with an understanding of the importance of quality and value, and a strong focus on the “big picture”; in short, you're a thinker and a strategist...not a talker
BUT you're also a relentless “Completer-Finisher” - adept at taking the lead on projects, from initial conception and scoping, through to completion
You're well-presented, organised and business-like
You're independent and assertive, but also a great team-player
A flexible approach to working hours, when working to deadlines, is a given.
You're willing to travel within the UK, as required - and internationally if you show you can handle it.
You can manage confidential and sensitive information with integrity
You're excited about the opportunity to embrace change and promote new concepts and methods where needed

Specific Competencies:

Demonstrable Business to Business Sales experience
Able to work with critical path projects and work to deadlines
Skilled and experienced project manager
Resourceful problem solver
A diplomat, able to skilfully manage multiple stakeholders across the business
Willingness to hold colleagues at all levels accountable for their commitments
Highly accurate with meticulous attention to detail
Ability to formulate robust and clearly-structured plans with well-defined objectives and targets
Detail and process-orientated with the ability to map and transform existing and new business processes
Able to multi-task and prioritise and run multiple projects at any one time

Computer skills:

Must be fluent in the use of MS technology, particularly Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Project Management / tracking tools
Must also be able to demonstrate proficiency in the use of AI tools to deliver results efficiently
Proficient presentation skills, including creating reports and PowerPoint presentations - and delivering them to demanding audiences

Application process:

This is an almost unique role, and you'll be a unique individual.

We're expecting a huge response to this role, and most of the applicants are going to look the same (and/or be woefully underqualified!) Please help us to understand why you're the person we're looking for.

Don't just send your CV - send us a covering note as well, telling us why you're the perfect person for this role, along with an indication of your current and desired salary and benefits package.

Do that, and hit all the right notes, and we look forward to meeting you soon.

Closing date for applications - 22 June 2026

Pay: £45,000.00-£50,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Employee discount
Free parking
On-site parking
