Hire technology & engineering sales talent in Torquay
Hiring sales talent in Torquay means competing in a tight local market where the strongest commercial people are rarely actively looking. As a Paignton-based agency a few minutes down the road, we know the bay's employers, its candidate pool and its salary expectations, and we recruit technology and engineering sales people who will stay, not treat your role as a stepping stone out of the area.
Sales people who fit the role and stay
Torquay sits at the heart of the English Riviera and Torbay's wider economy, a place better known for its seafront than its sales floors, but one with a genuine and growing base of technology and engineering employers. Torbay is recognised nationally for its electronics and photonics cluster, and the bay's businesses increasingly need commercial people who can sell complex products into specialist markets.
Torbay is home to one of the South West's recognised electronics and photonics clusters, anchored by the Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre (EPIC) in neighbouring Paignton and a long manufacturing heritage across the bay. Roughly one in twenty jobs across Devon and Torbay sits in high-tech industries, and the businesses behind those numbers need salespeople who can translate technical capability into commercial growth.
