Ready to turn your degree into a successful career?

You've worked hard to earn your degree. Now it's time to find an employer who will invest in your future.

At Wilsons, one of the UK's largest and most successful family-owned motor retailers, we're looking for ambitious graduates who are ready to make an impact.

Our Graduate Management Programme is designed to develop the next generation of business leaders by giving you hands-on experience across multiple departments, real responsibility from day one, and a clear pathway into management.

Whether your degree is in Business, Marketing, Finance, Automotive, Engineering, Psychology, Law or another discipline, we're interested in your potential—not just your qualifications.

What is the Graduate Management Programme?

This is far more than a graduate job.

Over the course of the programme, you'll rotate through key areas of our business, gaining practical experience while working alongside experienced managers and directors.

You'll develop commercial awareness, leadership skills and an understanding of how every department contributes to the success of one of the UK's leading automotive retailers.

Departments may include:

• Marketing
• Administration & Accounts
• Parts Operations
• Vehicle Logistics
• Human Resources
• Contact Centre

Throughout the programme you'll work on real business projects, contribute to strategic initiatives and receive regular mentoring to help you develop into a future leader.

What You'll Be Doing

• Rotating through different business functions
• Supporting departmental managers with daily operations
• Analysing business performance and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Leading and participating in improvement projects
• Building relationships with colleagues across the business
• Learning how to deliver exceptional customer experiences
• Developing leadership, communication and commercial skills
• Working towards a permanent management or specialist role

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for graduates who are:

• Educated to degree level (2:2 or above preferred)
• Ambitious and eager to develop
• Curious and commercially minded
• Organised and self-motivated
• Able to build relationships with people at all levels

Previous automotive experience isn't necessary. We'll provide the training—you bring the ambition.

A full UK driving licence is desirable.

Why Wilsons?

At Wilsons, career progression isn't something we simply promise—it's something we actively invest in.

Many of our senior managers started their careers in junior positions before progressing through the business. In fact, both our Managing Director, Wojciech Gumienny, and our Sales Director, Spencer Chamberlain, began their careers at Wilsons in entry-level roles and have gone on to become Company Directors.

As a graduate, you'll have direct exposure to experienced leaders, meaningful responsibility from the outset and the opportunity to build a rewarding long-term career.

You'll also work with some of the world's leading automotive brands, including Hyundai, Peugeot, Renault, Dacia, MG, Vauxhall, Leapmotor and Chery.

What You'll Receive

• Structured Graduate Management Programme
• Personal mentor and coaching from experienced managers
• Real responsibility from day one
• Leadership and management development
• Cross-departmental business experience
• Clear progression opportunities
• Company pension
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Staff discounts on vehicles, servicing, MOTs and parts
• 22 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
