September was an exciting month as our first 3 graduates from the Future Leaders Programme began their journey with the Billington Group.
Each graduate will work in 4 different roles, in 4 different food division businesses in our 2 year programme. This will include working with our operations, technical, supply chain and commercial teams.
From left to right we have:
- George Light who joins us after graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Food & Nutrition from Sheffield Hallam University. George’s first placement is within Technical at Billington Foodservice (The Kitchen).
- Abbie Griffiths has returned to the UK to join the Group after spending a year in Hamburg, Germany. Abbie graduated from Sheffield Hallam university in 2017 with a BA degree in Hospitality Business Management. Abbie’s first placement is with Commercial at TSC Foods.
- Freddie Billington moves onto our Future Leaders Programme after already having spent a year with the Group as a Graduate. So far he has spent time at TSC Foods in Commercial and more recently with Technical at EPC in Newbury. Freddie will stay at EPC Newbury for the next 8 months working in Operations.
The programme started with an induction at The Billington Barn and then onto their respective locations to get to know their teams.
We look forward to updating you with how they are getting on and learning a bit more about our Future Leaders!
