Two Aldi colleagues in Bolton are celebrating their work anniversary after a combined 50 years with the business.
Jill Griffiths, a Deputy Store Manager at the Vincent Way store, joined the supermarket back in 1993, while Robert Beech is marking 20 years as a Driver at the supermarket’s Bolton Regional Distribution Centre.
The pair have both gone above and beyond during their time at Aldi, going out of their way to support their colleagues while also taking part in numerous fundraisers for Aldi’s dedicated charity, Teenage Cancer Trust.
Well-known faces amongst colleagues and customers alike, Jill and Robert have seen Aldi continue to grow and invest in the community over the years and become the UK’s fourth largest supermarket last year.
Commenting on her time at Aldi, Jill said: “My proudest work achievement has to be opening not one, not two, but four Aldi stores. I love working here and I’ve made lots of great friends along the way.”
Robert said: “When I started with the company, there were only two Regional Distribution Centres – and now there are eleven. In recent years, we’ve seen a particular jump in demand, and it has been great to see Aldi get the recognition it deserves!”
Ruth Doyle, Regional Managing Director at Aldi UK, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to all of our colleagues and take great pride in celebrating their achievements.
“Colleagues like Jill and Robert have played a key part in our growth and success, and I would like to thank them for their contributions.
“Our colleagues allow us to connect with wider communities and continue to provide the high-quality service that customers keep coming back for.”
