Account Manager - Anglesey
Account Manager jobs
Customer retention is one of the most important aspects of running a logistics business. As with any business, retaining profitable and reliable clients can make you the envy of your competitors by minimising the time and effort spent chasing new clients.
But retaining clients is not just about sitting back and enjoying the ride; it’s an active craft, involving constant communication with clients and senior management to ensure smooth running, met deadlines and fulfilled aspirations. Account managers are therefore a key employee in the customer retention effort.
Reporting to the account director and senior management, the account manager is a human interface with the clients. They will know their clients’ demands intimately and in turn, the client should appreciate the personal service and understanding. In large companies with many clients, this would be impossible without the account managers.
An account manager might also have a team of subordinates dealing with specific clients or sectors, and the manager will need to not only instruct them but also remain completely aware of what they are doing strategically and in detail.
The skills required
The account manager will need to be a flexible person, able to deal with different clients in their own unique ways. A deep knowledge of logistics and the industries they are dealing with will be essential. As they will be trusted by the customers to deliver on promises they make, they must also be able to both stay well connected with those within their company who make delivery possible, but also realise the limits of possibility so as not to overpromise and underdeliver.
Good, accurate reporting skills will be required, and a strategic mindset, able to interpret goals from management and account directors and turn them into results, will be essential.

ROLESAccount Manager Jobs in Anglesey
Anglesey is an island county off the coast of North Wales, but is an integral part of Wales itself, with Welsh culture part of its inherent makeup. The island was joined to mainland Wales in the nineteenth century by two bridges near Bangor, one designed by Thomas Telford, the other by Robert Stephenson. Anglesey’s population of around 70,000 is concentrated mainly in the north-west port of Holyhead, which houses around 14,000. It is also the county town and an important ferry port, with regular services to Dublin.
There is a certain amount of tourism in Anglesey, but not as much as there is on the North Wales coast. The island is rather agricultural in nature, although the port provides an important cluster of jobs and helps the economy greatly. As with any port town, Account Manager jobs do become available in Holyhead, which makes Anglesey among the best place in the North Wales region to find such work.
