Aldi to recruit 3,000 roles ahead of Christmas

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 revealed it is recruiting for 3,000 store roles ahead of the festive period.

The supermarket is looking to hire for both temporary and permanent store positions to help replenish stock and provide further assistance to customers during the busy Christmas season.

Roles available will include store assistants, managerial positions and cleaners.

In addition, Aldi is also set to recruit across its Regional Distribution Centres in the UK, with around 1,500 roles available, including warehouse selectors, logistics assistants, and warehouse cleaners.

It follows the supermarket’s long-term commitment to have 1,500 stores across the UK to meet growing demand.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “It’s never been more important to us to make affordable high-quality food accessible to all, especially at Christmas. That’s why we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of new colleagues to our stores and Regional Distribution Centres over the coming months.

“Our colleagues play such a vital role in keeping our shelves stocked throughout the year, which is why we will once again be keeping our stores closed on Boxing Day as a way to say thank you for their continued hard work.”
