Coming from a technical background, I initially expected to focus solely on R&D. However, the graduate program has offered me the opportunity to explore a variety of roles beyond my original field. Each rotation is more than just a trial — it’s been a hands-on learning experience with real impact. Not only have I gained a deeper understanding of the business, but I’ve also learned more about myself — what I enjoy, where my strengths lie, and what I want to pursue in the future. I would highly recommend this graduate program to anyone interested in the FMCG industry, who is passionate about learning, growing, and making a difference.

From working on our manufacturing sites—witnessing the production of our quality products—to gaining experience in our head office, the chance to work across different functions has been incredibly valuable. I’ve had the opportunity to spend a year in multiple supply chain roles at Chelsea Sugar, followed by a year in our Export Dairy team, supporting our business development managers before moving into a finance-based rotation within the same team. I’ve really valued the chance to work across different areas of the company and collaborate with a range of teams and different people, which has helped me develop new skills, challenged me professionally and broadened my commercial understanding.

Gaining exposure to different functions within a large FMCG business has been incredibly rewarding. The program has given me the opportunity to explore various roles, helping me discover what I enjoy, what challenges me, and all while feeling supported along the way. With a background in Consumer Food Science and Marketing, I’ve had the opportunity to work across the Communications Team, Food Service Marketing, and Supply Chain. If I had one piece of advice, it would be to say yes to every opportunity. Every new challenge brings a chance to learn and grow - both personally and in your career.
