Graduate training scheme 
British Sugar plc
East of England, East Midlands
There's more to British Sugar than meets the eye. Yes, we process more than 7 million tonnes of sugar beet - that's the UK's entire crop - every year. We receive 2,500 lorry loads of sugar beet each day. Our work ranges from talking to some 5,000 beet suppliers to major R&D investment taking in new product development and increasing crop yield. The factories themselves rival those you'd find in the oil, petrochemical and power industries. But it doesn't stop there.

The first part of the sugar production means removing stones and soil from the beet crop. The nutrient-rich topsoil is sold back to companies involved in landscaping, civil engineering projects, restoration or even sports ground reconstruction.

Once the sugar is removed from the beet, the remaining vegetable matter is dried to produce animal feed products, giving us a third business.

Then there's our a 23-acre greenhouse which takes the C02 co-product and water used in the sugar process and utilises both to grow the UK's biggest crop of round salad tomatoes.

Lastly, we drew on our sugar beet experience - and our sugar beet suppliers - to become the first UK company to manufacture bioethanol, a carbon-friendly, fully renewable fuel. The combined heat & power system we use is one of the most fuel-efficient processes available - around 80% of the energy in the fuel is employed in the sugar manufacturing process. We've saved around 60% in CO2 emissions when compared to petrol.
