Who is Mick George?
One Man, One Tipper, One dream, may seem a distant memory, but the dream is very much a reality, as we find ourselves approaching 40 years since the business started trading.
Now operating over 600 HGV vehicles from over 40 separate sites, employing more than 1,000 local people, gives an indication of the scale to which the business has evolved over the years and explains why the Mick George Group has grown to become one of the leading suppliers to the Construction Industry in the heart of East Anglia and East Midlands.
Our aim is to ensure that we provide the highest possible standards to each and every stakeholder that comes in to contact with any aspect of our business, whether that be as an employee, supplier, customer or other.
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.
