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

Aldi is reducing hundreds of head office and logistics positions in the UK as part of a global cost-cutting initiative. The company is consulting on the potential loss of up to 150 technology roles, following previous redundancies in finance and administration. While store jobs remain unaffected, Aldi is centralizing operations and outsourcing certain roles to India. The retailer aims to streamline its operations amid slowing growth, with UK sales rising only 0.4% recently. Aldi's market share has also declined slightly, facing increased competition from traditional supermarkets. Other retailers like Morrisons and Sainsbury's have made similar cuts in response to restructuring efforts.
