ALDI OUTLINES PLANS TO RECRUIT ADDITIONAL BRITISH SUPPLIERS
Aldi has outlined plans to recruit more than 100 additional British suppliers in 2022.
The move is being made in a bid to increase its spend with British suppliers by £3.5bn a year by the end of 2025.
This forms part of the supermarket's push to further increase the number of products it sources from the UK across all product categories, including food, drink and special buys.
Aldi spent a total of £9bn with UK companies last year and is opening on average one new store a week.
Giles Hurley, chief executive at Aldi UK, said: "We are incredibly proud of our support for British suppliers, and excited for our supply chain partners to grow with us.
"That’s why we're now on the lookout for even more British suppliers to add to our current partnerships, helping to create even more jobs as well as new opportunities for these businesses."
