Aldi to cut 150 jobs at Atherstone head office

Up to 150 head office jobs could go at supermarket chain Aldi as part of a shake-up of its UK business. The firm said it was consulting members of the technology team based at its headquarters in Atherstone, Warwickshire. Store-based jobs are believed to be unaffected.

The move comes on top of about 103 redundancies made within the finance and administration teams earlier this year. In a statement, Aldi said it continuously reviewed all aspects of its operation to ensure it operates simply and efficiently to remain competitive. "We are therefore making some adjustments to the way parts of our UK business are structured," a spokesperson added.

Aldi has more than 1,000 shops across the UK and Ireland and is the UK's fourth-largest grocery chain, according to the latest Worldpanel by Numerator data.
