Imperial given high marks by graduates

Imperial Tobacco has been named by graduates as one of the top 10 companies to work for in the U.K.’s FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) sector.

The ranking was achieved on the Job Crowd website, which provides graduate employees with the chance to rate their companies so others can assess each organization on the basis of their anonymous reviews.

In addition to garnering the Top 10 award, Imperial was ranked number 52 of all the employers recruiting graduates in the U.K., beating a number of employers with more established graduate recruitment schemes.

“This is a great result for Imperial, and not just because it’s the first time we’ve been involved in an award such as this since we launched our graduate program in 2010,” said Richard Boyce, graduate resourcing manager.

“We should feel proud of this because it’s based on reviews by our own graduate employees.

“It also gives us a benchmark to ensure continuous improvement going forward.”
