Food & Drink Network

The Food and Drink Innovation Network reports recent research conducted by Leading Edge revealed many food industry workers believe that career progression is the main factor in applying for an alternative job.

Nearly half (46 percent) stressed enhancing career opportunities was more important than challenging work or training opportunities and graduate schemes. A total of 79 percent of respondents felt opportunities for career progression are likely to ensure they remain with their current employee and this can be more important than financial rewards and on-the-job benefits.

Leading Edge's business development manager Shanna Ritchie explained: "The rapid pace of change and growth in the industry in the past few years provides previously unthought-of career opportunities.

"The old perception that jobs in food and grocery are simply about stocking shelves is dying rapidly, as the UK’s best and brightest minds are attracted by the opportunities to progress," she added
