The increasing demand for good sales people, particularly in the South East, is clear evidence the pet industry is growing again after several years of challenging economic conditions. That's the view of recruitment specialist Lynda Ward.

Lynda, owner of  Pet Trade Solutions, says there is an increasing demand for field sales people to cover South East territories due to new companies introducing products for the industry and others expanding.

“The South East in particular is always the first territory to be attended to in these cases and the fact that there have been so many new roles in the area this year is a very good indicator that the pet industry is moving on.

"No-one is pretending that it’s ‘easy out there’ due to the level of competition and retailers still cautious buying stock but the fact that there’s a demand for face-to-face sales skills shows that many companies are shifting up a gear and meeting the challenge head on."
