ABP is one of Europe's leading beef processors. We have built our success on entrepreneurship, technological investment and a deep knowledge of the sectors in which we operate. As key stakeholders in the integrity of the food supply chain we are focused on ensuring the full traceability of our products.
Our core business - ABP Beef - is supported by its renewable, pet food and protein divisions, which combine to ensure the value of by-products is maximized and the environmental impact of the business and our customers is minimized. Our company has doubled the size of its business in the past 10 years and continues to seek additional growth opportunities through organic initiatives and potential acquisitions.
Our highly sought-after Finance programme attracts huge interest each year because it offers a unique opportunity to understand and influence the relationship that ABP has with its customer base and wider business. It affords successful candidates a dynamic and challenging work environment whilst helping them develop knowledge of the industry alongside supporting their study for the professional qualification - CIMA.
