It comes after it last month announced it is creating more than 450 jobs at its Welsh stores

Aldi's distribution centre in Cardiff.

Supermarket chain Aldi is creating more than 85 new jobs at its regional distribution centre in Cardiff.

The new roles, a combination of full and part-time, is part of its º£½ÇÊÓÆµ-wide expansion drive which will see it on average opening one new store a week between now and Christmas.

Last month the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ’s fourth-largest supermarket also announced it is also creating more than 450 store roles in Wales. Its distribution centre in Cardiff currently employs 773.

º£½ÇÊÓÆµ-wide it has 990 stores, which employ 40,000 staff. In Wales it currently has 62 stores, employing 1,768.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, said: “As we continue to grow and attract new shoppers, we need even more 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.”

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

Most distribution centre roles are warehouse selector related, which pays a rate of £13.18 an hour – up from £11.48 in January last year.
