At Houghton International everyone matters and in return for our employees’ commitment and hard work everyone enjoys a range of benefits additional to their salary so that everyone can share in the company’s continuing growth and ongoing success.

 

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.
