Aldi expects to create 6,000 new roles across the UK this year as it continues with its expansion plans.
The discounter, which currently has more than 990 sites, revealed that stores will be coming to towns and cities such as Norwich and Newcastle, with the doors set to open on new outlets in Huddersfield and Shrewsbury within the next month.
Aldi is also currently recruiting for 450 jobs across its 11 Regional Distribution Centres around the UK.
Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Aldi UK, said: “Demand for Aldi has never been higher as more and more people realise they can make significant savings on every shop without compromising on quality. It’s more important than ever that we are making it even easier for more people to shop with us – including by opening dozens of new stores.
“Our success is dependent on the amazing work that colleagues do, day in and day out, and we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands more colleagues to Team Aldi throughout 2023.”
Last week, it was revealed that Lidl is scaling back its store opening programme in the UK to focus on growing its warehouse capacity.
NAM Implications:
- What would you do?
- Growing at Aldi rate
- Increasing market share at the expense of the mults
- In a market environment made for discounting
- Watch this one go…
