ALDI has launched a Scottish Small Supplier Development Programme to give up-and-coming food and drink companies the chance to secure their big break.
The programme was announced at the official opening of ALDI’s new multi-million-pound headquarters in Bathgate.
Graham Nicolson, Group Buying Director at ALDI in Scotland, said: “We have always led the way with Scottish sourcing and in May this year we announced plans to boost our investment in Scotland by increasing our range of Scottish products from 350 to 400 in the next two years. Our Scottish Small Supplier Development Programme is part of that commitment, and will help more small Scottish food and drink businesses secure a retail listing.
“For a lot of small food and drink businesses, trying to secure a listing with a major retailer puts huge pressure on their team. We’ve launched this development programme to make it easier for companies to get their products on our shelves and to give our customers access to the most exciting and best quality new products from Scotland.”
Food and drink companies in Scotland with ambitions to take their product from concept to shelf and see it stocked in ALDI can apply for the Scottish Small Supplier Development programme by contacting [email protected].
As part of the programme, ALDI will offer companies that meet the qualifying criteria subsidised costs and support from a dedicated member of the Quality Assurance team who will offer advice, insight and coaching from day one until the product reaches ALDI shelves.
