British Sugar is the leading supplier to the
UK and Ireland food and beverage markets.
The sole processor of the UK sugar beet crop
it produces more than 1 million tonnes of
sugar in its 4 factories from 7 million tonnes
of sugar beet. The company was the first
to manufacture bioethanol in the UK at its
Wissington site in Norfolk and seeks to turn
all of its inputs into sustainable products.
Our business is not just about sugar, we
have expanded the range of co-products we
produce. These products include animal feed,
soil conditioning and landscaping products,
electricity and even tomatoes. We are also
involved in the developing bioethanol
industry and seed coating and enhancement
technology.
Our products are represented in the leading
brands of international food and drink
manufacturers. The scale and nature of
our operations mean that behind every
product is the total assurance of food safety,
product traceability, security of supply and a
commitment to product innovation.
Using our Combined Heat & Power plants,
we export enough electricity for 160,000
homes and use the combustion gases to grow
around 140 million tomatoes, and we invested
in the UK's first Bioethanol plant, producing
70 million litres of renewable fuel.
You will find our sugar on supermarket
shelves under the Silver Spoon brand, one of
the UK's leading food brands.
From Engineers to Agriculturalists we rely
on a wide range of professionals. Whilst we
are extremely diverse, we retain a unique
culture that is as friendly and supportive as
a small company but with the excitement of
a truly international business. It also means
that every individual has a chance to make a
highly visible impact.
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
