Job purpose: BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL APPRENTICE
Want to learn how a real business actually works?
Grant Foods is looking for an ambitious Business & Commercial Apprentice to join our team.
This isn’t a role where you’ll spend a year making tea, filing paperwork and watching from the sidelines.
You’ll be given real projects, real responsibility and real exposure to different areas of our business.
Throughout the year, you’ll work alongside our management team and gain hands-on experience across:
- Sales & Business Development
- Marketing & Social Media
- Commercial Projects
- Customer & Account Management
- Business Administration
- Data & Reporting
- New Product & Market Opportunities
- Project Management
- Presentations & Research
One month you could be helping develop a marketing campaign. The next you could be researching a new customer or market, analysing sales information, supporting a commercial project or helping bring a new product idea to life.
The Apprenticeship
Alongside your role, you will work towards an SVQ in Business and Administration – SCQF Level 6
You’ll develop practical business skills while gaining a recognised qualification - and, importantly, you'll be able to put what you learn into practice every day.
Who Are We Looking For?
We are more interested in attitude and potential than a long CV.
You might be right for this role if you are:
- Confident and willing to communicate with people
- Commercially curious and interested in how businesses make money
- Comfortable using computers, social media and Microsoft Office
- Organised and able to manage different tasks
- Full of ideas and willing to contribute them
- Happy to pick up the phone and speak to customers
- Keen to learn about sales and marketing
- Able to work independently as well as part of a team
- Ambitious and looking for the beginning of a career - not simply a job
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.

Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You do not need previous business experience.
We are looking for someone who wants to learn.
What You'll Get
You’ll gain exposure to areas of business that can take years to experience in a traditional entry-level role. You’ll work closely with experienced members of the team, be trusted with your own projects and develop an understanding of sales, marketing, commercial decision-making and how an established manufacturing business operates.
For the right person, this could be the first step towards a career in sales, marketing, commercial management or wider business management.
