Graduate Management Trainee – Birmingham Help Build Our Birmingham Expansion - #2086565

Following continued growth across the UK, we have recently expanded into Birmingham and are looking for ambitious graduates and career-minded individuals to join our 12–18 Month Graduate Management Trainee Programme.

We specialise in retail promotions and customer acquisition campaigns within the energy sector, working face-to-face with customers in major retail environments on behalf of nationally recognised brands.
