At V&C Associates, we understand that in retail, commercial growth is driven by the people who build and manage the relationships that keep shelves stocked, ranges growing, and revenues rising.
Whether you need an Account Manager maintaining strong supplier and buyer partnerships, a Wholesale Manager overseeing distribution into retail networks, a Business Development Manager identifying and converting new retail accounts, or a Sales Manager leading a field or office-based team to hit ambitious targets — we have the expertise to find the right fit.
Under the leadership of Nicole Vohs, Director of V&C Associates, our sales division works with retailers, brands, and suppliers across the industry. Our consultants know first-hand what strong retail sales talent looks like; the resilience, the commercial acumen, the relationship-building skills, and the drive to perform in a fast-moving, competitive market. V&C Associates takes the complexity out of retail sales hiring, delivering candidates who understand the sector and are ready to make an impact from day one.
