Giles Hurley, chief executive officer of Aldi UK and Ireland also said that “households are still under real pressure from higher living costs” as it reported its finances for last year. The German supermarket firm’s UK and Ireland business has reported annual sales of £15.5 billion for 2022, jumping from £13.6 billion in the previous year. “That’s why we’re still welcoming more and more customers through our doors – people who come to us for our low prices but stay for the award-winning quality of our exclusive brands.” It comes as the supermarket group, which currently has more than 1,000 UK shops, continues to expand around the country.
