About the company

Company websiteRetail

At Lidl, we’re a pretty close bunch. Sure, we all bring something unique to the table — but when you scratch below the surface, we’ve also got a whole lot in common. We’re plate spinners and problem solvers, working hard to keep homes stocked up across the UK.

Just like you.

We opened the doors to our first Lidl GB store in 1994. Today, three decades later, we’re proud to have more than 1000 stores and 14 regional distribution centres filled with 34,000 exceptional colleagues across Great Britain - and we're still growing.

The secret to our success? Offering the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices. A commitment to the very best service. And a group of incredible colleagues to take us forward and into the future. Our journey is moulded by you — the things that set you apart and the things that make us one amazing team.

No matter your role, you’ll find that you can make your mark on our success story. We’re always looking for motivated people who are ready to make our stores, supply chains, and shopping experience the best they can be. Whoever you are, whatever your interests and wherever you come from, there’s never been a better time to join Lidl GB.
