Food is big business…in fact it is the biggest industry in the UK and ABP is one of the biggest players within the food sector for meat processing. This makes us the preferred supplier to major multiple retailers, including Sainsbury’s and ASDA.

ABP is the leading supplier of beef and lamb products in the UK.Through our fresh and frozen divisions we are a preferred supplier to major retailers and food service companies in the UK. As a company we have a down-to-earth attitude - both in the way we approach a problem and the way we interact with others.
So where do you come in?
Graduate Management trainees move through every aspect of our business over a 20 month period. At the end we will agree your final career path whether it be in research and development; food safety or technical.
