About BD UK

BD is a medical technology company. In the UK it sells and supports products such as medication delivery and diagnostic solutions, and makes products at its Plymouth site.

We did not find a mission statement on the BD UK pages we could read. The UK locations page says BD offers flexible career paths and invites people to explore different functions and grow professionally.

BD's UK locations page says Winnersh, Berkshire is the home of its commercial operations. Plymouth is its manufacturing site, which BD says began making products in 1981 with 88 associates and now has about 600. Crawley, Worthing and Leeds handle commercial, manufacturing and distribution work.

The page says the Plymouth site supports local charities, including the Children's Happy Hospital fund at Derriford Hospital. We did not find other culture information.

We did not find a graduate scheme, placement or apprenticeship on BD's UK pages. UK job listings show roles such as customer service advisor, product manager and engineering technicians in Winnersh and Plymouth, so look at those pages and ask BD directly about entry-level and apprenticeship routes before applying.
