Aldi offers employment to refugees from Ukraine

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Aldi has announced it is welcoming applications from Ukrainian refugees with over 8,000 roles available, subject to their eligibility for UK employment.

The vacancies span a range of roles including assistant store manager, store assistant, stock assistant, selector, logistics assistant, as well as other office-based administration roles.

Overall, Aldi has over 950 stores, where most of the vacancies are available, and 11 regional distribution centres serving all parts of the UK.

Aldi said it is in discussions with the government to find the best way to secure employment for refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “We stand by the people of Ukraine and want to offer employment opportunities for those seeking refuge in the UK.

“By working with the government, partners and other employers, we hope to help as many people as possible and provide much needed stability and security in their lives.”
