Lidl

We are proud to announce that Lidl GB has once again been accredited by the Top Employers Institute as an ‘Employer of Choice’. The Top Employer Institute is an independent global authority who recognise and annually certify companies with excellent people practices. Well done to all involved with helping us gain this accreditation. We are proud to join 97 other companies within Great Britain which have also been successfully accredited this year.

As a discount supermarket we play a vital role in giving households access to good food at affordable prices, and it’s our incredible colleagues that make it happen. That’s why, from next week (October 1st), we’re increasing the pay of all 23,500 of our hourly paid colleagues for the second time this year, taking entry-level rates from £10.10 to £10.90 per hour outside of London and from £11.30 to £11.95 inside the M25. It’s a £39.5 million investment – and represents a pay rise of between 10-14.5% since this time last year. Ryan McDonnell, Lidl GB CEO comments “We have introduced these rate increases to reflect the key role and tireless efforts of our incredible colleagues working in our 935 stores and 13 warehouses. The role that we as a discounter play in giving households access to good, affordable food cannot be underestimated, now more than ever. But the ongoing commitment and dedication of our colleagues in making it all possible for our customers cannot be underestimated either – our business simply would not run without them.”
