Halo is proud to announce the launch of a new graduate enterprise scheme, a transformational program that will support talented graduates looking to build successful careers without leaving the communities they call home.

The £2M scheme, called Halo Hometowns, in its inaugural year, will offer talented university students and graduates a 2-year training opportunity in the business in Suffolk. This opportunity is focussed on strong progression and will provide all necessary funding, skills and knowledge to set up satellite offices in the applicant’s hometowns.

Halo has gained an excellent track record for the company’s development of young people in the heart of Suffolk, with Halo’s almost 200 strong workforce all starting on the graduate scheme and without senior hires.

“We understand that many talented graduates are drawn to big cities to start their careers,” said Chris Brown, Halo’s brand development executive. “With the continuing growth and success that Halo is experiencing in Suffolk, we want talented graduates to and lead in building local satellite offices in the areas of the UK they are passionate about’’.

The company invites applications or enquiries from university graduates or students in their final year.

Interested applicants are invited to submit applications from Wednesday 7th January, addressing:

Their background and education
Their interest in the scheme and how it aligns with their long-term goals
Why they believe their hometown would benefit from a satellite office
Why they are attracted to this opportunity and how they believe they will contribute to it

The key features of the programme are:

In-depth training in core operations, access to expert knowledge unrivalled in the industry
Financial support to set up a satellite office in their hometown
Resources to recruit and train local staff
Ongoing mentorship and operational guidance from senior leaders

“We want to do our national expansion differently, by helping communities keep their brightest talent and flourish,” added Paul Hamilton, Halo’s founder and CEO. “We’ve seen our impact in Stowmarket and now want to give other regions in the UK to chance to share in our growth. This is coupled with Halo’s pledge to remain privately owned, which we write into our contracts on a rolling basis. Those joining us on our journey can be confident they have a stable, long-term opportunity.”

Halo hopes to have its first graduates on board by the Summer of 2026.
