An Aldi colleague in Lancashire is celebrating her work anniversary after 20 years at the supermarket.

Alison Holding, a store assistant at the Harpers Lane store in Chorley, first joined Aldi in 2004 after previously working in the retail sector for other high street names. 

After joining the team 20 years ago, Alison has stayed in the area ever since, becoming an integral part of her store team and going above and beyond in her role over the years.

During her time at Aldi, Alison has taken part in multiple fundraisers to raise money for both the supermarket’s dedicated charity, Teenage Cancer Trust, and members of the local community, showing her commitment to giving back.  

Speaking of her time at Aldi, Alison said: “I’ve loved being a part of Aldi’s team over the past 20 years, and I still look forward to my work every day.

“I’ve grown to know many of my store’s regular customers over the years, and it’s always rewarding to go the extra mile to make their day that little bit better.”

As for a Specialbuy that gets her running to the middle aisle, Alison said: “It’s got to be Kevin the Carrot! I must admit I get a bit starstruck when he pops up in the middle aisle!”

Ruth Doyle, regional managing director at Aldi UK, said: “With around 45,000 colleagues in the UK, it’s fair to say that people are our biggest and most brilliant asset at Aldi. 

“Alison is no exception, and her commitment to Aldi’s values is testament to why we are loved by so many. We look forward to celebrating even more of her achievements in the coming years. 

“As well as offering every colleague the job satisfaction they deserve, we invest in a whole range of fantastic training courses year after year, making sure all our colleagues love being a part of Team Aldi.”
