"The graduate scheme has been an exciting start to my career. M&B is incredibly supportive with workshops, career development, and study support, letting me balance work and education. It’s been a great way to jumpstart my career with confidence and excitement!"
Abbie
Finance Graduate
"My advice to someone joining as a graduate would be; coming fresh out of your university bubble into a big organisation like M&B, there’s a lot you must learn as you go. The organisation has so many moving parts – it’s okay to not be clued in on everything on day one!"
Charlotte
Area Manager Graduate
"The biggest benefit of the grad scheme is the trust and responsibility given from day one. You’re thrown into real projects, challenged to rise to the occasion, and supported by both peers and mentors. The group setting fosters camaraderie, making it easier to learn, share experiences, and grow together."
Lucas
