Aldi’s UK restructuring could affect up to 150 headquarters employees, with the retailer consulting technology staff on proposed changes, according to The Guardian’s reporting cited by The Independent.
The Independent said store positions are not expected to be affected. It also reported earlier cuts of about 103 finance and administration jobs and almost 20 buying director positions.
Aldi said it is adjusting how parts of its UK business are structured and regularly reviews its international operations. The company said the changes would be phased in after consultation, with notice and support for affected employees.
The Independent reported last month that Aldi had announced a £900 million investment in new stores and distribution centers.
Aldi is targeting 1,500 UK stores, up from 1,092, and plans to open 24 locations before Christmas and relocate three existing stores, The Independent reported.
