Our client brings to the market an exciting array of freehold and leasehold businesses on behalf of their clients who wish to sell. Businesses they offer range from Cafes & Restaurants to Dry Cleaners & Launderettes, Hotels, Hair & Beauty Salons, Take Aways and Pubs to MOT centres, and that’s naming just a few. They sell throughout England, with most businesses being situated within London and the Home Counties.

It’s doubtful the ideal applicant our client seeks will have experience in their business or even know much about what a Business Transfer Negotiator is or does? That is not important. Our client is looking for the ‘right’ person to welcome as a Trainee into their Head Office in Leigh-on-Sea. What is important however, is you will be proactive, self-motivated, ambitious, reliable, determined, enthusiastic and organised with an excellent telephone manner.

Our client wants you to succeed. They will assist you with full training, guidance, development and ongoing support. This is unlike other ‘Negotiator’ roles.

This is an interesting and rare opportunity.
