Description
Role: Commercial Sales Apprentice – Agriculture Sector

Location: Shropshire, UK

Contract Type: 3 years 6-month Apprenticeship

Package Includes: £28,000 salary per year, plus company car, benefits, and a fully funded degree

Launch your sales career in the agricultural sector while earning a university degree and gaining practical, hands-on experience in the field.

Trident Feeds (part of AB Agri) is offering an opportunity for a driven and commercially minded individual to join as a Business-to-Business Sales Degree Apprentice.

This role involves managing your own regional customer base within the agricultural feeds sector, while studying towards a Level 6 B2B Sales Professional Degree — fully funded, with no tuition fees or student debt.

This is a field-based position, not a desk-based role. You will be expected to travel extensively across your region, meet customers face-to-face, and build strong commercial relationships. The role will include regular motorway driving and occasional overnight stays.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Managing your own customer accounts and sales ledger
  • Conducting in-person meetings with merchants and feed manufacturers
  • Creating and executing sales plans to grow your territory
  • Balancing academic study with practical work commitments
  • Attending industry events and training sessions
  • Keeping up to date with market trends and identifying business opportunities

What We’re Looking For

  • Prior business-to-business sales experience (any sector) is essential
  • A Level 3 qualification (e.g., A-levels or equivalent)
  • GCSE English and Maths at Grade C/4 or above
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently
  • Willing and able to commit to a three-year degree apprenticeship
  • Comfortable with regular travel and overnight stays
  • Agricultural knowledge or field-based sales exposure is desirable but not essential

What’s In It For You

  • A fully funded Level 6 B2B Sales Degree
  • Full-time paid role while you study part-time
  • Competitive salary of £28,000 plus company car and benefits
  • Valuable field-based experience in a fast-paced commercial environment

Key Considerations

  • You will need to balance university-level coursework alongside full-time responsibilities
  • You must meet the entry criteria for the degree programme
  • A genuine interest in both the agricultural sector and the apprenticeship route is essential
