Early careers at Unilever UK and Ireland

Championing long-term investment in future talent

Unilever’s story in the UK and Ireland began well over a century ago in 1929 at our home in Port Sunlight (The Wirral). Here, we started small, with a simple yet significant mission of ‘Brightening Everyday Life For All’  for all, whether that be through nutrition, hygiene or personal care. 

100 years later, we continue to champion this mission every day with our products. That’s why 3.4 billion people use Unilever products daily in over 190 countries to look good, feel good, and get more out of life. Every year, our 6,000 colleagues help us to generate a healthy 2 billion Euros from UK sales alone. 

With people all over the nation wanting products that taste, smell and feel great, it’s no wonder we are top of the list every time. In fact, you can find us in nine out of ten households here in the UK – go and check, we might even be in yours!
