Hire technology & engineering sales talent in Newton Abbot
Newton Abbot's engineering and manufacturing employers need salespeople who can hold a technical conversation and still close commercial business. Hiring that blend locally is hard. We recruit specialist technology and engineering sales people across the Heathfield estate and the wider town, and as a Devon agency we understand the area's salary norms and the kind of person who will settle here for the long term.
Sales people who fit the role and stay
Newton Abbot is one of Devon's most important manufacturing and engineering towns, home to the Heathfield Industrial Estate and dozens of production businesses, and positioned on the A38 Devon Expressway within easy reach of both Torbay and Exeter. It is a town built on making things, and businesses that make things need people who can sell them.
The Heathfield Industrial Estate between Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey covers around 95 acres and is the largest of 32 industrial estates across the Teignbridge district, a dense concentration of manufacturing, engineering, fabrication and distribution businesses. Sitting directly on the A38, Heathfield reaches a catchment of close to half a million people within thirty minutes, which makes it a serious base for any business selling into the South West.
