An Aldi colleague in the West Midlands celebrates 25 years at the supermarket

Clare Forbes, a Deputy Store Manager at the Stechford store, first joined the supermarket in 1999 after previously working as a waitress.

After joining as a Store Assistant initially, Clare worked at the Acocks Green store before being promoted to Deputy Store Manager and then returning to the Stechford store.

Clare is an integral part of Aldi’s Stechford store team and has gone above and beyond in her role over the years.

Speaking of her time at Aldi, Clare commented: “My career with Aldi has been so rewarding. I’ve been able to work with a great team and helped so many of our customers, so I couldn’t ask for more.”

As for a Specialbuy that gets her running to the middle aisle, Clare said: “It has to be the hanging egg chair - it’s perfect for relaxing in.”

Marius Manolescu, 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.

“Clare 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.”
