Chilled pastry producer Addo Food Group has launched its first graduate employment programme this month (March 2021) as part of its plans to attract high-quality talent into the food manufacturing industry.

The group is offering a two-year programme for graduates that are interested in pursuing a career in food manufacturing, operations and commercial management.

The programme is made up of four practical placements across various business departments, alongside completing a Mastership Programme. This programme features a combination of educational and workplace learning, covering modules including Strategic Operations, Marketing, Sustainability and Disruptive Innovation.

Deborah Bolton, CEO of Addo Food Group, said: “At Addo, we are passionate about developing our next generation of leaders. This is integral and at the heart of not only our graduate programme but also our wider business. All the graduates that successfully join our scheme will benefit from accelerated development into leadership and management, allowing personal progression into business management roles.

“Our graduate programme provides the opportunity to understand the business, right up to the executive level, giving them exposure to all the resources we have within our industry. We want to hear from graduates who want new experiences and are especially passionate about getting involved in our sustainability and volunteering programmes.”

Applications for the graduate scheme close on 30th April 2021.
