Buying (Manufacturing) Graduate

2 weeks ago


Colne, Lancashire, United Kingdom Wm Morrisons Supermarkets Full time

At Myton Food Group we have a legacy to be proud of. We're British farming's biggest single direct customer. We buy from highly valued suppliers, and we're passionate about the quality of our food. Today, we have 19 manufacturing sites across the UK, where we pack and process fresh meats and fish, savoury and sweet pies, fruit and veg, flower bouquets, bread and lots more.

We really do stand out in the world of food manufacturing. But what we're especially proud of is the way we all get stuck in and work as a team

What's involved?

Throughout the 2-year scheme, you'll experience different buying teams across our Meat (based in Colne) or Fruit and Veg (based in Bradford) manufacturing sites, helping us drive efficiencies and commercial profitability in a fast-paced environment. Your time will initially be spent gaining an appreciation of our operational manufacturing business, followed by a short placement in our stores to learn more about our retail operation. Day-to-day, you'll be responsible for:

  • Sourcing raw products to ensure we're getting the best quality products for the best prices
  • Interacting with our farmers and growers and planning with our sites to deliver great quality food to our stores and external customers

Our structured training and the chance to work on exciting projects means there are plenty of opportunities to progress and learn while with us. You'll join other Buying Graduates in training and development sessions, such as negotiation training. By the end of the programme, you will have the experience and skills needed to progress into the role of a buyer in either Meat or Fruit and Veg.

Make good things happen

Our graduates get access to all our employee benefits, including a holiday buying scheme, contributory pension scheme, store discounts and MyPerks. This is a reward and benefits scheme that updates regularly with new and exciting offers. Here's what could be available:

  • 24% cashback on JustEat
  • 6% cashback on Ticketmaster
  • Cinema tickets from £4.80

What you'll need to join us

We are food makers and shop keepers, and together, we make Morrisons. We're looking for graduates who have a real passion for food, its quality and safety, a drive to succeed and can lead and influence those around them. You need to be a great communicator with strong listening skills and the ability to build relationships with a diverse team of people. Candidates also need a minimum 2:1 in any degree subject (with a passion for agriculture being a great bonus) plus a full UK driving licence and access to a car. Other key qualities we'd like to see include:

  • A positive outlook
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Resilience
  • A real passion for food and its quality

To apply, you'll need the right to work in the UK for the full duration of the scheme.

We're passionate about delivering excellence and meeting your needs, so we're confident you'll find working at Morrisons rewarding. We are focused on the progression of talent early in their career which is why we offer structured schemes, on programme coaching and support from mentors and buddies from day one
