VDC has built a reputation for the best quality of AV cabling solutions through its Van Damme brand which is increasingly specified in major AV projects around the world.

To help us implement our growth strategy, VDC Trading is now looking to recruit 2 new Customer Relations Executives to deal with an increasing volume of UK orders, quotations and enquiries to provide the most professional, helpful and knowledgeable customer service that our customers recognise as one of the best in our industry.

  • A competitive basic salary depending on experience

  • Keen interest or strong desire to learn about the AV industry.
  • Excellent telephone manners and writing skills to deal with call and email enquiries.
