Aldi to create 5,500 new jobs this year
Aldi has announced plans to create 5,500 new roles across the UK this year.
The supermarket will be seeking to recruit for a variety of positions including store assistants, managers and cleaners for new stores opening in 2024.
The move forms part of Aldi’s long-term commitment to open 500 more stores across the UK and its investment of more than £1,4 billion across this year and last. The investment includes expanding the supermarket’s distribution and store network as well as improving its existing stores and technology infrastructure to support the growth.
Giles Hurley, chief executive at Aldi UK, said: “Our colleagues work incredibly hard and are without a doubt a huge part of our success at Aldi. We continue to welcome more and more customers to Aldi stores every week, not just because of our unbeatable prices and British sourcing, but also our amazing colleagues.
“We are looking forward to welcoming even more colleagues up and down the country to Team Aldi during 2024 as we progress towards our goal of making affordable, quality food accessible to everyone.”
Aldi currently has more than 1,000 stores and employs more than 45,000 colleagues.
