We aim to have graduates Management Trainees, in sales, operations and Finance. Our aim is to develop the talent within the individuals core skill area, but to also to expose them to the other areas, too. The idea is to produce well rounded leaders who understand all aspects of our business.
There won’t be a set programme, as it will be tailored to the individual’s core skills, their personal aspirations, and to the practical needs and opportunities within the business. That built in flexibility help allow individuals to excel.
The individual can expect to be stretched, as we’re aiming to develop high performing leaders.
