They use groundbreaking technology to produce innovative solutions that are tailored to each customers’ specific design or requirements. They are looking for someone whose skills lie in interacting with people to provide the highest level of professional, pro-active, confidential and customer focussed support and assistance to the sales, operational and management team. This is an internally based role will provide the crucial ‘bridge’ between customers, purchasing, logistics and sales team to keep the office running in a smooth and efficient manner.

Administrative tasks will include: • Effectively screening all incoming phone calls, visits and other communications, initiating and co-ordinating actions with due regard to confidentiality and Data Protection using a customer centric approach. • Creating, maintaining and reviewing the electronic and manual filing systems, researching and retrieving information. • Maintaining customer, supplier and stock databases and records. • Checking and authorising purchase invoices. • Processing sales and purchase orders. • Being the principal contact for the company’s logistical providers: responsibilities will include the coordination and administrative support of stock receipts and deliveries to customers. • Maintaining the warehouse stocking plan. • Supporting the company’s small manufacturing unit. • Processing credit card/cash transactions. Carrying out these tasks will therefore require a good level of proficiency in mathematics, English (written & verbal) combined with sound computer literacy (including Outlook email, MS Word/Excel & preferably previous experience of using a CRM system).
