We employ over 4,000 dedicated colleagues operating from 15 sites across the country, supplying a range of retail, wholesale, foodservice and other customers with our iconic brands which feature in millions of homes every day.  

Our Graduate Programmes:

Our tailored Graduate programmes offer exciting and highly rewarding opportunities for you to make the very best start to your career, whilst making a real difference across our business.

The content of the programme you join will be driven by the relevant function/business unit, however all programmes will have a rotational element and will enable you to gain a broad exposure to our business: providing you with the knowledge and experience you need for a fast-tracked career.

Following a four week induction programme, which will be a mixture of office and remote working, together with time spent at our manufacturing sites or with our retail sales teams, you'll work within the specific function/business unit you have been recruited for.

This period (which will be up to two years) includes a dynamic and structured development programme delivering a high level of autonomy and responsibility from the start, which will test your tenacity, innovation and desire to achieve results. After successful completion of the programme you can expect a first appointment to a role with significant responsibility.

From the start you'll have access to a suite of skills development courses including presentations skills, time management and communication skills, as well as sponsored professional development.

Enriching Life Through Food

Our Purpose

Our purpose reminds us what we're here to do – enrich life through food.

It guides us, it motivates us, and it’s reflected in every element of how we run our business today. It means enriching life for our consumers by ensuring that the food we create enables people to lead sustainable, healthier lifestyles and by creating loved brands that bring moments of enjoyment to their lives throughout the day.

It also means enriching life for our colleagues by creating an inclusive culture of entrepreneurship, where people can reach their full potential, as well as attracting the very best talent and embracing diversity along the way.

Enriching Life through Food is about making food in a way that respects the world’s resources, the same resources we rely on to make our delicious food. Whether that’s reducing our environmental footprint through climate action, reducing food waste, or maintaining high ethical standards across our supply chain.

By continuing to enrich the lives of our consumers and our colleagues as well as the planet we live on, we can nurture our business effectively and sustainably, and look forward to many more years of healthy growth ahead of us.
