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 to ‘make sustainable living commonplace’ 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!

Meet Previous & Current Future Careers Employees!
Maria Inguanta
Current role: Global Beauty & Personal Care – Unilever Legal
Former: Technology Management UFLP
“Technology is the heartbeat of Unilever and is present in everything that we do. Its because of this that as a Technology Management UFLP you will get to experience many different areas of the business and insight across the company that is rarely afforded to those in the other functions. Not only will you get to partner different functions, but you will also get to work closely with many of our technology collaborators including Microsoft, Google, Salesforce and many more. You will also get to experience areas of innovation that Unilever is investing in such as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, and Predictive Analytics. Through this, you will play a key role in Unilever’s drive to innovate for success whilst at the same time developing your own skills and experience. ”

Momeena Khatun
Current role: Digital Commerce Technology Analyst
L6 Digital & Technology Solutions Apprentice
“I value the responsibilities I have been given as an apprentice, far more than I had expected, working alongside people at all levels of the business. I feel included as an individual and am supported by internal networking groups such as Women In Tech. Unilever encourages self-development alongside formal job roles, and has flexible work practices which support people in different circumstances. Working in the technology function, you get exposed to a range of projects, teams, and processes. This has given me the opportunity to contribute to Unilever’s innovation strategies and the digital landscape including the metaverse (e.g. Virtual Reality). I am excited to be involved in the latest technology trends, helping to shape the future and contributing to Unilever’s growth.”

Matthew Spedding
Current role: Global Supply Chain Manager, Beauty & Personal Care
Former: Supply Chain UFLP
“No career or job in Supply Chain is ever the same. We’re a team that features a huge amount of diversity - in people, roles, locations and workspaces and that is what makes it a great area to work in! I joined the business working in Leeds on a European project, working to source deodorants, like Lynx and Dove, in a smarter way. Just 12 months later, I moved to the European HQ in Rotterdam where I helped develop our newest (and tastiest) Ice Cream products! Along with variety, the responsibility given to each graduate is incredible. I was trusted to lead the team responsible for ensuring that the millions of pounds of orders we receive each day are processed accurately and on time. A lot of pressure, but you can always rely on a great support network of mentors, managers and experienced teammates.”
