Graduate Profiles

"Excellent career prospects and the opportunity to move through the ranks in quick progression, as well as working for a multinational corporation were, for me, the major attractions of SIG.

As part of my development as a graduate, I have been involved in every aspect of successfully managing a branch, ranging from sales, logistics planning, stock control and price management. I have also been involved in planning, implementing and managing the cross company synergy initiative, as well as coordinating various internal projects to maximise business efficiency and minimise costs."

"All of the experience and roles I have undertaken throughout my career have helped me to be in the position I am now. I believe hard work, enthusiasm, learning, listening, flexibility and adapting to change have helped me have a wider understanding of the SIG business and I will continue to do all of these things to make sure I grow with the company and develop my career.

I have enjoyed the opportunities and the trust I have been given, the continuous chances to learn and the colleagues I work with. I feel if you give 100% to the organisation you will get 100% back."

"I was attracted to SIG as it was a very large, market leading, multinational FTSE 250 company which was aggressively acquiring companies in different and interesting growth areas. I very much wanted to be part of this company due to the opportunities that it would afford.

I would not have the job I have now without having gone through the SIG graduate process. I was proactively exposed to all aspects of the business and this enabled me to have a fantastic understanding of corporate life and a great opportunity to contribute to it."
