Due to the growth of Aldi and Lidl in the UK and Ireland, Culina Group business, CML, has expanded from its single site consolidation centre in Telford with a £2 million investment in a new facility in Lutterworth.
CML has created 140 jobs across warehousing, HGV driving and administration functions, and has already secured new customers for the facility, all of whom supply the discounters with chilled food and drink goods, providing excellent service levels into a very demanding retail sector.
“Aldi and Lidl now jointly represent around 17.8% of the total food and drink retail market in the UK which is up from 13.6% just five years ago,” commented Culina Group Chilled Division CEO – Steve Winwood.
“The new CML Chilled Consolidation Centre in Lutterworth has increased our capacity by over 40%.”
