Meat wholesalers and distributors are the vital link in the supply chain, handling the storage, picking, and delivery of fresh and frozen meat products to thousands of customers daily. The sector includes national distributors, regional wholesalers, specialist game and poultry suppliers, and Smithfield Market traders.
Commercial roles in wholesale are particularly rewarding, with experienced sales managers and business development executives earning competitive salaries plus commission.
