British Sugar Graduate Scheme Editorial

British Sugar, with operations in Africa, Europe and the Far East, is the leading sugar supplier in the UK. We process the country’s entire sugar beet crop annually (around seven million tonnes), with our technologically advanced processing plants producing around 7,500 tonnes of sugar a day. The company is a member of the Associated British Foods (ABF) group, which is a FTSE 100 listed company. Other members of the group include Allied Bakeries, Silver Spoon, The Ryvita Company and Twining and Company Ltd.

British Sugar is a growing, diverse and highly complex business. Our culture is one of improvement and today’s graduates will provide the business with its senior managers of the future. The size of the workforce is relatively small, providing scope for graduates to make a visible impact.

Requirements
We are looking for high calibre graduates whose strong technical skills in their own discipline are backed by energy, drive and ambition; individuals who relish the prospect of change and are prepared to demonstrate team working skills. We look for at least a 2:1 degree, but self-motivation and the ability to influence people at all levels is key. All of our graduates must be prepared to be fully mobile.

Training and Development
The graduate programmes begin with a comprehensive induction to the business, the structure, the market and the business issues we face. This induction is followed by a series of core training modules to give graduates from all disciplines an insight into general business topics and general management skills. Throughout the scheme each graduate will be supported by their own personally assigned mentor. A wide variety of training courses are offered throughout the duration of the programme.
At British Sugar you are encouraged to take ownership of your own career progression to help you develop the expertise and personal qualities you will need to achieve your career goals. A highly advanced programme of functional training and cross-functional project work will allow you to build wider credibility and competence.

Rewards
Challenging work, early responsibility and exciting career opportunities are the hallmark of the British Sugar Graduate schemes. Our flexible programmes provide the optimal combination of practical experience and structured training to prepare you for a career in senior management. Opportunities to spend time abroad are also open to our graduates. Study towards professional qualifications is fully encouraged and sponsored by the company. We offer a competitive starting salary along with a comprehensive benefits package. All graduate salaries are reviewed regularly in line with personal performance and achievement of professional qualifications as appropriate
