Hear from John, one of our Account Development Representatives, about the role and working for RS.

“It’s a very rewarding feeling introducing a customer to potential new ways of working, helping to optimise their business and support future success.

“The sheer number of solutions that RS offer allows for some awesome conversations and fun projects! I recently had the pleasure of visiting a chemical facility where we talked about PPE, procurement, site safety & energy management challenges. Once our customer understood our business a little further, we’re now talking about solutions across all those areas. Improving their business & strengthening our position as a trusted partner.

“If you want to build a solid foundation or accelerate a career, not necessarily just in sales, RS Internal Sales offers a huge support structure for development. The daily collaboration with other functions & exposure to different sectors, along with the options for personal growth such as apprenticeships made it stand out for me!”
