Benefits

Working with a well-established company
Cox Catering is an established, independent catering and events business based in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, with over 15 years' experience in the hospitality and catering industry. We have an established track record of delivering corporate catering, business lunches, conferences, training events and large-scale hospitality for a wide range of organisations. Operating from our own commercial catering facilities, with an experienced catering team and established operational infrastructure, we are well positioned to accommodate additional corporate contracts and develop long-term customer relationships. We offer sales partners the opportunity to represent an established business with proven experience, professional service delivery and genuine potential for growth.
Sales and marketing support
Sales agents will have access to our professionally designed, branded catering menus, product information, pricing guidance and supporting marketing materials. We will provide assistance with quotations, menu proposals, client presentations and the development of bespoke catering packages for prospective corporate customers. Our experienced operational team will manage food preparation, delivery and event fulfilment, allowing sales partners to concentrate on developing relationships and generating new business. We will work collaboratively with agents to support promising opportunities and help convert enquiries into profitable, long-term customer relationships.
Freedom & flexibility
We offer a flexible opportunity for experienced independent sales professionals to work autonomously, managing their own prospecting activities, client relationships and working arrangements. There are no fixed office hours or requirement to work from our premises. The opportunity is particularly suitable for established sales agents with existing business contacts across the East Midlands who wish to introduce a complementary catering and hospitality service to their portfolio. We are open to discussing a mutually beneficial commercial arrangement based on experience, existing relationships and the level of involvement proposed. Our priority is measurable results, strong customer relationships and sustainable long-term growth rather than prescribed working hours.

Target market

Our target market consists of businesses and organisations across Newark, Nottingham, Lincoln, Worksop, Mansfield, Grantham and the wider East Midlands.

Priority prospects include:

Medium and large employers with regular internal meetings, training sessions and corporate events
Manufacturing, engineering, logistics and distribution businesses
Corporate offices and business parks
Conference centres and training venues requiring an external catering partner
Professional services firms and regional head offices
Education and training organisations
Event organisers and venues seeking reliable catering suppliers

Ideal contacts include office managers, executive assistants, HR and training managers, facilities managers, procurement teams, event coordinators and conference venue managers.

Our priority is to secure recurring corporate catering arrangements and establish relationships that deliver consistent, profitable business over the long term.

Ideal Profile

We are seeking an experienced, self-motivated independent sales agent or freelance business development professional with a proven ability to generate and secure new B2B business.

Ideally, you will already have established relationships with businesses, corporate decision-makers, conference venues or event organisers across the East Midlands.

Experience in corporate hospitality, catering, hotels, conference sales, facilities management or other business-to-business services would be particularly valuable.

We are looking for someone who can independently identify opportunities, approach prospective customers, arrange meetings, present our services and develop enquiries into repeat commercial relationships.

This opportunity would suit an established sales professional looking to add a complementary service to their existing portfolio, or a freelance business development specialist seeking a flexible, long-term partnership.

Cox Catering offers an established operational business, a broad range of catering services and the ability to fulfil the contracts generated.

We are open to discussing commission-based arrangements or a suitable hybrid structure combining an agreed retainer with performance-related commission, depending on the experience, existing network and proposed level of involvement.

Our intention is to build a mutually beneficial, ongoing partnership with someone who can demonstrate measurable commercial results.
