Dak joined Cranswick in 2020 as a Technical Graduate. In the first year of the scheme, Dak completed a range of rotations from farm to butchery and new product development. She then moved into a Technical dedicated rotation, which included spending time with both site and group based technical functions.

Dak then had the opportunity to spend time at sites across the Cranswick group, including the fresh pork site at Preston and ready-to-eat sites. During her rotations she gained factory and systems based operations knowledge, whilst also working on strategic project assignments. During this time, Dak developed her understanding of Technical within Cranswick and was able to improve her project leadership and team working skills, through programmes within the graduate scheme.

"The scheme has been the perfect transition into working life, as it allows you to continuously learn on the job, whilst putting your learnings into industrial practice”.
