Supermarket to become first in UK to make switch to 100 per cent recycled plastic across entire range of soft drinks and bottled water

Aldi is to create 5,500 new jobs this year as the supermarket chain continues its expansion across the UK as shoppers switch to cheaper retailers.

Painted in bright yellow, to safely guide Father Christmas to land from the sky in the dead of night, the giant installation measures 11 metres in length, and six metres wide.

Tesco has hired the former boss of Aldi to lead its UK business as traditional supermarkets fight back against the rise of the discounters.

The supermarket group said UK chief executive Jason Tarry ‘has decided to leave’ the business in March 2024.

Aldi: UK food price inflation reached its highest since 1977 in March at over 19%. This official measure slowed to 13.6% in August and while industry data showed it at 12.2% in September, rising food prices remain a major strain on the finances of many households.

Positive results from Aldis UK operations are a sign that the discounters further expansion into the British market is progressing well.

Aldi UK said it would increase investments in the period to end-2024 to £1.4 billion ($1.7 billion) as it reported a rise in profit in 2022.

The boss of the UK arm of German discount supermarket Aldi has guaranteed to keep its price advantage over rivals.

Aldi UK has reduced the prices of over 30 household grocery staples, adding to evidence that a surge in UK food inflation is on the wane.
