## Key points

- Aldi is cutting hundreds of UK office and logistics roles.
- Up to 150 technology jobs are under consultation.
- UK sales grew 0.4% as market share slipped.

## Summary

Aldi is cutting hundreds of UK head office and logistics roles as it reshapes local operations and centralises more work to reduce costs. The changes come as the supermarket faces slower sales growth and tougher competition, while it says the savings will help it keep prices low.

Aldi is consulting on removing up to 150 technology roles, after 103 finance and administration redundancies earlier this year and nearly 20 buying director roles. Store jobs are unaffected, though a small number of regional manager roles have also gone; finance, procurement and administration work is being outsourced to India and other countries, with further payroll redundancies expected to be discussed. Aldi says it has invested £300m in lowering prices on 900 products this year. Its UK sales rose 0.4% in the 12 weeks to 1 November, while its market share fell 0.1 percentage point year on year.
