Aldi and Morrisons to recruit THOUSANDS of workers
manchestereveningnews.co.ukTwo supermarket giants have announced plans to recruit thousands of workers ahead of the busy festive season. Aldi is creating 3,000 permanent and temporary jobs, while Morrisons is looking for 3,500 extra staff to work in its stores, food manufacturing sites and logistics operations as both firms deal with expected increased demand over the Christmas period.
Aldi said its positions will include store assistants, managerial positions and cleaners. Aldi is also recruiting across its regional distribution centres, with around 1,500 roles available, including warehouse selectors, logistics assistants and warehouse cleaners.
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.
