[The German-owned supermarket
chain Aldi has announced plans
to create 6,000 new jobs in
the UK this year.
The staff will be recruited for its
distribution centres, as well as a
number of new stores including
in Norwich and Newcastle.

Aldi has 990 stores and 40,000 staff
in Britain and last year overtook
Morrisons to become the UK's
fourth-largest supermarket chain.

It said it had attracted 1.3 million
new customers in
the past three months.

Its store assistants receive a starting pay
of £11.00 an hour in most parts
of the UK and £12.75 within the M25.
Warehouse staff get a minimum
starting salary of £13.18 an hour.

Aldi store managers have salaries
of up to £63,000 a year.

Aldi's Richard Thornton told the
BBC the company "prides itself" on
paying well and "prioritising value".]
