Aldi cuts hundreds of UK head office and logistics roles as part of global cost trimming

Supermarket’s move labelled ‘shortsighted’ by worker who calls upper management ‘woefully out of touch with reality’

Aldi’s UK business is cutting hundreds of head office and logistics roles as part of a global effort to trim costs at the budget grocer.

The retailer is consulting with its technology team on the loss of up to 150 roles after 103 redundancies in its finance and administration team earlier this year and almost 20 more redundancies among buying directors.
