Aldi encourages Arcadia and Debenhams staff to join the supermarket
2 February, 2021 | by Angela Beevers
Aldi is calling for retail staff affected by the collapse of Arcadia and Debenhams to apply for some of the 4,000 jobs it plans to create across the UK this year.
The roles are part of a two-year £1.3 billion investment by the supermarket which includes opening new and upgraded stores and distribution centres.
Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “We are currently opening an average of one new store a week as we continue to try to meet the huge demand for amazing quality food at unbeatable prices that shoppers can only get at Aldi. That means finding around 4,000 new Aldi colleagues this year and, if we can do that while also helping those who have recently lost out due to closures elsewhere, we will do.”
