Aldi is to create around 1,000 logistics roles across UK in the coming 12 months.

The supermarket is working to expand its distribution, transport and maintenance teams at its 11 regional distribution centres with both full-time and part-time positions.

The new roles will carry salaries of up to £19.80 per hour.

The move forms part of Aldi’s nationwide expansion drive which is expected to create 2,000 UK permanent roles this year.

Aldi currently has more than 960 stores and employs around 38,000 people across the country.
