Our People

People are the cornerstone of our business.  We aim to create a positive and challenging work environment in which employees feel that they can realise their full potential and work as part of a committed professional team.  We are proud of our employees and the skills, experience and commitment that they contribute to our organisation. Our commitment to our people is espoused in our core values - and evidenced by the number of people who have been working with Programmed for 10, 20, 30, even 40 years.

Our apprenticeship and management graduate programmes are testament to our commitment to providing a solid foundation and career advancement opportunities to our people.  We currently employ over 150 apprentices and management graduates, right throughout our business, and have been doing so for over 25 years.

Our management philosophy is one of openness and individual empowerment. We believe and support the principle that individuals should be accountable and responsible for making operating decisions. To facilitate this environment, our management style is one of support, assistance and direction.  This allows our people the autonomy to be creative and innovative in their roles within a framework which is supportive and trusting.
