The foundations of Barratt Developments were laid back in 1958, and our subsequent success has been built on a commitment to reach the highest standards of design, construction, quality and customer-service. Half a century later, this commitment hasn't changed. But becasue we're also dedicated to innovation, a great deal has changed.
We've built and sold over 300,000 homes, but our outstanding feature isn’t necessarily our size or our stature. It is our flair for lateral thinking. We aim to be the organisation setting the standards in our industry, the business that people turn towards to see best practice in tackling land acquisition, affordability, energy and environmental concerns.
This is the reason why we believe that graduates from all different disciplines and backgrounds can make such an impact here. We want to be a champion of new talent, a business renowned for bringing fresh ideas and people into an industry that is changing radically.
On a daily basis, the challenges we face range far beyond construction and the skills of our people are becoming equally diverse. The work that we do, the approach we take, means that our graduates need to be naturally adaptable: they are our ideas people, our negotiators, influencers, relationship managers, commercial thinkers and customer-oriented achievers.
In short, our new graduates will be our new business leaders.
