Aldi has revealed that it has invested an extra £1.6 billion with British suppliers since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This includes £125 million more spent with UK meat, poultry and dairy farmers as the supermarket sourced 100% of its core range of fresh meat, eggs, butter, milk and cream from British suppliers.
Aldi has also reaffirmed its promise to prioritise UK suppliers as it works towards its commitment, made a year ago, to spend an additional £3.5 billion a year with British businesses by the end of 2025.
