Love NPD but wish you had a bit more variety in your work?
This is an ingredients supplier that acts as an extension of its customers’ Development teams – and that customer base is really diverse. One day you might be working on a botanical infused drink, the next day you might be perfecting the texture of a new ice cream, ready for launch.
There’ll be a bit of travel – UK customers, plus occasional trips to Europe for team meetings. Most of the time though, you’ll be based from the state of the art laboratories in Buckinghamshire, working as part of a small team. Some of the customers that you’ll work with are incredibly innovative start-ups, so expect some challenging briefs, where your work will directly affect the products you’ll see on the supermarket shelves in the months ahead.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
