Late pm’s probably be around £36,000 P.A load and tip yourself or so I’m told, they won’t have trouble filling the posts.
If you don’t like a bit of graft then it aint for you, some of our lot in Avonmouth say they will apply, most of them wouldn’t last a week.
Blunder Man:
If they are anything like Lidl they will expect three mens work for one mans pay, this seems to be a happening more and more, they are not happy with you driving the bloody truck and helping out they want you to load/drive/unload/reload/unload at the depot, my mate tell me Abbey Logistics in Hull want Day/Night drivers on the same type of thing, I am now retired than God, but this seems a bit much bearing in mind these places don’t pay vast wages.
Goes to show how out of touch you get only after a couple of years,
Aldi are in house and pay good money,somewhere in the region of £11 p/h rising upto £14 p/h for what is mainly localised work due to their opening of regional RDC`s better than being contracted 3rd party
As I understand it they do 3-4 locals a day depending on store locality.
I sent a CV of some time ago, heard nothing, not even an acknowledgment of them getting it.
The building is up… The road to Wentloog is horrendous… not very wide, and full of potholes…nowhere to park, so don’t plan on a break when you get out of Alid…
grumps:
dunno about all that but aldi and lidl have sunk tesco and co.
No Aldi are a small player with a limited product range and store format.
They have a different business model and can afford to take a lower profit margin to make money, lets bust some myths, the big four have tiny profit margins of between 3% and 7% they profit buy moving huge volumes with higher overheads than the discounters.
The biggest profits in the industry are made by the big brands who have more bargaining power with the buyers nobody wants a store without the recognised brands Aldi and Lidl have no choice they have to stock stuff nobody has heard of regardless.
It is said that some of the big brands have up to a 40% profit margin, when you see a B.O.G.O.F promotion for a branded product lets say Persil two boxes for the price of one the makers of Persil take the hit not the supermarket, they are not giving away washing powder only reducing there already considerable profit margin, hence why the discounters don’t offer B.O.G.O.F promotions, they will never overtake the big four as the market in the UK reached saturation point about 5 years ago.

If people want multi choices of “branded” products which is no different from the next thats fine. If they dont try unfamiliar products in the likes of Aldi how can they pass judgement,personally we never shop anywhere else since we got adventurous and tried out Aldi some 6 years ago.
No gimmicks no BOGOF`s good quality
You do work a lot of weekends tho as the shift pattern is 5 on 3 off. The wages are 19,000 to 22,000 per yeAr. No time and a half or double time payments either .

I used to rave about Aldi, but I have woken up to it not being all that great in all honesty. I rate their meat & veg and some bits and pieces are good, but everything else quite simply isn’t as good as the branded stuff for the most part & I think people are kidding themselves if they don’t think their compromising on quality shopping there.
Aldi is cheaper for shoppers because the lack of range, special offers & lack of availability of brands enforces discipline in your shopping. Go to Tesco with a shopping list & rigidly stick to it buying nothing other than own/budget brand lines and you won’t see much difference in your bill.
Aldi works out cheaper because you’re buying 90% unbranded goods, on par with supermarket own brand. With the exception of Pepsi, Heinz and Persil, we only buy Tesco brand. Not value or finest, just the standard, and our bill is no different to a shop in Aldi

Have you ever been out of the uk there everywhere through out europe
And I mean everywhere the uk is the newest market for them. Personally I don’t have a problem with them meat lasts long than Tesco’s and Asda and the range is fine. For most needs. They’ve hit the big boys hard over the last few years. Bogof offers are usually a con anyway
wing-nut:
Like many other companies they receive government subsidies because they provide a lot of employment.
But if they need to be paid to provide it, how is that different from the Four Yorkshiremen paying the boss to go to work?
And what of the fortunes of those businesses that aren’t currently being paid to provide employment? They now have to compete against a business that essentially doesn’t need to make a profit (or which makes a profit purely from subsidies).
