Aldi has announced plans to recruit over 100 additional British suppliers in 2022 in a bid to increase the number of products it sources from the UK and buy British wherever possible.

The supermarket aims to increase its spend with British suppliers by £3.5billion a year by the end of 2025.

Suppliers based in Oxfordshire across a range of product categories, including food, drink and Specialbuys, can visit aldi.co.uk/suppliers/becoming-a-supplier to find out more.

Aldi’s entire core range of fresh meat, eggs, milk, butter and cream is already sourced from British suppliers, while more than 40 per cent of fresh produce sold is also British.

The supermarket spent a total of £9 billion with UK companies last year as it opens at least one new store a week.

Giles Hurley, chief executive officer at Aldi UK, said: “We want to meet our customer’s demand for buying British, and by working with British suppliers we get to offer Great British quality products, and at unbeatable prices.

“As we continue to expand as a business, our supply chain needs to grow with us. That’s why we’re now on the lookout for more British suppliers to add to our current partnerships, helping to create even more jobs as well as new opportunities for these businesses.”
