Adam’s Journey
When Adam joined Buitelaar Group fresh out of university, he wanted real, practical experience in both food and pet food industries. Buitelaar Group provided him with an environment full of opportunities to learn, grow and develop.
Why He Chose Buitelaar
“The opportunity to work in the food industry, getting to learn and understand the pet industry as well, has been a massive plus.”
With exposure to multiple business areas, Adam quickly gained insights into our vertically integrated supply chain, from production to customer-facing commercial work.
What The Buitelaar Group Experience Looks Like
Our young professionals don’t sit on the sidelines, they get involved from day one.
Adam spent time across both the Productions and Foods divisions, contributing to projects involving:
- Meat production & quality
- Pet food and treats innovation
- Transport & logistics
- Sales, account management & customer relations
- System and process understanding within Foods
“Being part of different projects across meat, petfood and treats has given me some great experience.”
Skills That Shape Careers
Supported by experienced mentors and industry experts, Adam built skills that will stay with him throughout his career.
“I learnt key account management and sales skills from the sales team, especially Ben (Key Account Manager, Pet Treats) which will stay with me.”
Working with our transport team also built his operational understanding:
“I’ve been able to understand all sorts of different processes we do as a company… as well as the majority of processes on our system.”
Unforgettable Experiences Along the Way
Our young professionals get opportunities far beyond the office. Adam experienced:
- Week-long immersion at Woolleys, our abattoir
- Attending Zoomark and PATS international trade shows
- A company-wide open day in Somerset
- Travel, networking and team-building
- And of course — the people
“The people have been the highlight.”
