About BLK BOX

BLK BOX is a Belfast-based premium commercial gym equipment manufacturer and fit-out specialist, operating across B2B gym projects, key accounts, and ecommerce. We work with some of Europe's leading fitness operators and are now expanding rapidly into France, bringing our industry-leading quality standards and service to the French market.

The role suits someone who is highly organised, commercially minded, and eager to grow with the business.
