Lidl announces plans to recruit 1,500 new jobs with plans to expand UK warehouse operations - how to apply

Lid has announced plans to recruit more than 1,000 new jobs at its distribution warehouses across the UK. New colleagues will all earn at least £11 an hour and be put on a permanent full or part-time contract.

The recruitment drive comes as Lidl continues to focus on regional expansion after opening four distribution centres including Motherwell, Peterborough, Doncaster and a second site in Belvedere over the past five years. Today (May 9) Lidl has also announced plans to open a huge new distribution centre in Leeds which will create around 400 jobs, while plans to open another RDC in Luton - to serve London are under way.

Richard Taylor, Chief Development Officer at Lidl GB, said: “Our ambitious warehouse plans demonstrate our commitment to investing not only in our distribution network but the country as a whole. An RDC in Leeds would be a great addition to the north, while we continue to keep a lookout for new sites in the south.
