Aldi is consulting on cutting up to 150 roles in its UK technology team, The Guardian reports. The proposals form part of a wider restructuring as the supermarket chain centralises some functions and reduces costs. The figure of 150 refers to roles covered by the consultation, not completed redundancies.
According to The Guardian’s report published on 11 November 2026, 103 finance and administration roles and almost 20 buying director roles were cut earlier in the year. Those reductions are separate from the proposals now being discussed with the technology team. The changes described by the newspaper have not affected jobs in Aldi stores.
A spokesperson told the newspaper that Aldi was changing the structure of parts of its UK business, with the reorganisation being introduced gradually and following consultation. The company said those affected would receive as much advance notice as possible, along with support. Aldi also confirmed a small reduction in the number of regional managers.
Some functions moving overseas
The Guardian links the restructuring to the international centralisation of some responsibilities. According to the newspaper, Aldi is moving finance, buying and administration tasks to India and other countries through its work with Genpact.
For the UK technology team, the key distinction remains between proposals and completed cuts: consultation over the potential removal of up to 150 roles does not establish the final number of redundancies. Similarly, the report that store jobs have not been affected applies to this restructuring, rather than representing a guarantee about the chain’s future staffing policy.
