Aldi is consulting over proposals to restructure some head office divisions, in a move that could see up to 350 roles at risk of redundancy.
According to Grocery Gazette, the changes will affect some buying department positions, including non-food, finance and some back-office functions.
However, Aldi is also looking to expand the number of buying roles at its Atherstone headquarters.

A spokesperson for the German discounter told Grocery Gazette: “To support our continued growth and to offer the best experience to our customers, we are consulting over proposals to restructure some Head Office teams.
“No customer facing roles are affected, and no final decisions will be made until the consultation process is complete.
“We are committed to supporting our colleagues throughout this process. Wherever possible, we will seek to redeploy affected colleagues within the business.”
The restructuring comes just days after the retailer revealed it had raised its hourly wage rates for store assistants once again, following an earlier announcement made in January.
Aldi, which is already the highest-paying in the UK, will increase its minimum hourly rate to £12.75 nationally and £14.05 within the M25 from 1st March 2025.
