The Role
Our Agri Technical Sales Representative will play a key role in growing and supporting our farm customer base across their allocated territory. The successful applicant will promote and sell Lakeland Dairies’ full range of feed, fertiliser, and farm inputs while providing farmers with best‑in‑class technical support and nutritional advice.
With a strong focus on building relationships, expanding your customer portfolio, and achieving agreed sales, margin, and debtor targets, you’ll represent a business known for its technology‑led approach and market‑leading on‑farm support. This role is all about adding value, delivering results, and supporting farmers with the tools they need to succeed.

Key responsibilities will include (Not limited to):

• Work and participate positively as an active team member within an existing network of customers and other sales representatives to further grow sales within the region.
• Reporting to the Commercial Manager, ensure the achievement of all agreed targets and objectives
• Debt collection and credit control, achieving debtor day targets.

The Person
We’re looking for a self‑motivated individual who brings strong relationship‑building skills and a genuine passion for supporting customers. You’ll be organised, detail‑focused, and driven to deliver results, with the determination to meet defined objectives and continually raise the bar. This role suits someone who enjoys taking ownership and thrives in a role where customer relationships and personal drive really matter.
From an experience perspective, you’ll have a proven track record in ruminant nutrition and sales, demonstrating both practical knowledge and commercial awareness. A formal qualification in this area is an advantage, but we’re equally interested in strong hands‑on experience and the ability to apply your expertise effectively on farm. Above all, we’re looking for someone who brings energy, credibility, and a commitment to delivering value for our customers.
