Hire technology & engineering sales talent in Exeter
Exeter's tech and engineering employers compete hard for commercial talent, often against Bristol and London salaries. We help city businesses hire specialist sales people who fit both the role and the region, candidates who want to build a career in the South West rather than use Exeter as a stop on the way somewhere else. Our focus on technology and engineering sales means we understand what you are actually selling.
Sales people who fit the role and stay
Exeter is the South West's fastest-growing knowledge economy outside Bristol, home to the Met Office, Exeter Science Park and a University with serious strengths in data science and AI. For technology and engineering businesses, it is the regional centre of gravity, and for sales professionals it offers the deepest pool of high-value commercial roles in Devon.
Exeter Science Park is home to more than 45 businesses across digital and AI, SaaS, life sciences, engineering, environmental technologies and defence and cybersecurity, alongside the Met Office and its supercomputer and the University of Exeter's Institute for Data Science and AI. The city has the second-highest concentration of knowledge-based services in the South West after Bristol, which makes it the natural centre for technology and engineering sales recruitment in the region.
