and live on Freeview channel 276
The call out applies to all product categories including food, drink and ‘special buys’, and forms part of the supermarket’s ongoing commitment to spend an additional £3.5 billion a year with UK suppliers by 2025. The supermarket already partners with around 5,000 British suppliers.
Managing director of buying at Aldi UK Julie Ashfield said: “Working with UK partners is at the heart of our business and three quarters of our sales are from British suppliers. We are incredibly proud of these partnerships and it is amazing to watch so many of our suppliers grow with us.

Last year Aldi partnered with Channel 4 in search of ‘Aldi’s Next Big Thing’, launching a brand-new TV series that saw the supermarket uncover and stock new products from the UK’s best small food and drink businesses.
Following the success of series one, Aldi’s Next Big Thing will be returning to TV screens for a second series in 2024.
