Working at Houghton International

Our Sharing Success bonus scheme is designed to reward all employees when the business performs well with an annual discretionary bonus. Everyone has an important role to play in making the business successful and will be rewarded for the success they help to create. Staff recognition and long service awards are also in place to reward employees for their contributions to the business.

We offer a holiday buy/sell scheme, which aims to give more flexibility in how our employees wish to use their annual leave and promotes a better work life balance. It gives employees the option to buy or sell up to 5 days holiday.

Every employee at Houghton International has a personal development plan with regular one to one discussions scheduled to discuss training, development and progression opportunities. As an employer, we invest significantly in the development of our employees to ensure they have the skills to allow them to continually grow and develop their own skills and knowledge.

As a company we are committed to our employees’ wellbeing: physical, mental and financial. Income protection insurance is in place to supplement statutory sick pay should you contract a long-term illness whilst working for Houghton International, and covers absences up to three years at a rate of 50% of your salary. Our employees are also covered by death in service insurance.
