Aldi has exceeded its target for spending with British suppliers, hitting £14 billion in 2024—one year earlier than planned. Initially set in 2020, the supermarket aimed to increase its UK supplier spending by £3.5 billion annually by the end of 2025. This early achievement highlights the retailer’s commitment to supporting local businesses across the UK.
Businesses like JZ Flowers, a family-run supplier based near Hull are key contributors to this success. Since 1990, the company has provided seasonal British bouquets to Aldi and is set to mark 35 years of partnership in 2025. This long-standing relationship exemplifies how Aldi has strengthened ties with UK suppliers, ranging from British-grown apples to Yorkshire Wagyu beef and locally made crisps.
Aldi’s commitment to sourcing home-grown produce has been central to its strategy, underscoring the value of local industry to the business. With more than 1,000 stores in the UK, Aldi’s growth has been driven by its ability to offer quality products at competitive prices while fostering strong relationships with British suppliers.
