Product: Hardware and software solutions for the sleep diagnostics, CPAP products, and associated consumables
Who you’ll be working for:
This UK-based medical device company specialises in sleep diagnostics and has been established for over 30 years. The business designs, manufactures and supports its own hardware and software solutions, while also acting as a trusted distributor in the UK and Ireland for a number of leading international manufacturers.
Its model is built on long-term partnerships. Revenue is generated through a balanced portfolio of in-house products and globally recognised partner brands, giving customers access to a comprehensive and credible offering. The sales team therefore represents both proprietary technology and selected third-party solutions.
Privately owned and family-run, the company operates with a small, close-knit team. There is a practical, hands-on culture where individuals take responsibility seriously and work collaboratively to deliver results. Manufacturing is based in Oxfordshire, with significant ongoing investment in research and development. The organisation is known for being technically strong, approachable and straightforward to work with.
Over the past two years, the company has achieved 80% growth and continues to expand. It is not a corporate, image-led sales environment. Success is built on long-term, trust-based relationships and a genuine understanding of customer challenges. This represents an important phase in the company’s continued development and growth trajectory.
What you’ll enjoy:
- This is a stable, established business with a 30-year heritage and a strong reputation in the sleep market. The products are British made, reliable and well regarded, giving you credibility in front of customers from day one.
- The company culture is friendly and personable. It is a small, agile organisation where people know each other and decisions are made quickly. If you are looking to step away from a large, impersonal corporate environment, this offers a more human and relationship-driven setting.
- You will have genuine autonomy. There is real freedom to shape your territory, manage your time and bring forward new ideas. Improvements are welcomed and implemented, and there is no excessive bureaucracy slowing you down.
- For someone who values trust, ownership and long-term stability, this is an opportunity to do a solid job in a well-respected business without corporate noise.
