Budget supermarket Aldi has confirmed it is creating 100 new jobs at one of its Kent distribution centres.

The firm says the employment opportunities will be at its site on Sheppey - with posts available between now and the end of the year.

It comes as the company looks to build on its impressive growth in recent years.

The German chain has become the fifth biggest supermarket in the UK with more than 1,000 outlets nationwide.

Positions up for grabs at the Queenborough site - part of a nationwide expansion programme - range from managerial to warehouse staff and drivers.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “As we continue to attract new customers, we’re looking forward to welcoming even more colleagues to join our distribution centres across the country.”

Jobs include both full and part-time roles.
