Aldi to hire more than 1,700 employees amid expansion drive

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 is looking to hire more than 1,700 people in its warehouses by the end of the year as part of its nationwide expansion drive.

The recruitment will include both full-time and part-time positions at its Regional Distribution Centres, with salaries of up to £53,000 per year.

The supermarket plans to open an average of one new store a week across the UK between now and Christmas.

Following two pay increases for hourly-paid warehouse colleagues in 2022, Aldi further increased pay rates in February 2023 by up to 20% more than the same time last year.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “As we continue to grow and attract new shoppers, we need even more amazing colleagues at our distribution sites to make everything possible.

“As well as healthcare and lifestyle perks, being a part of the Aldi team means a great working environment. With it being an exciting time for the business there are also real opportunities to progress.”
