A lot can change in 20 years. Peter Kay had a number 1 song with “(Is This the Way to) Amarillo”, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith was hitting cinema screens and skinny jeans were the fashion trend.
It was also the year that Angie joined the supermarket chain Aldi. This year, she is celebrating her 20-year work anniversary – becoming a local legend and familiar face in the East Lancashire community.
Angie first joined the Colne store in 2005, before moving to Rawtenstall in 2019. Company bosses say she has ‘gone above and beyond’ in her role over the years, including taking part in a skydive to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Speaking of her time at Aldi, Angie commented: “The best thing about working at Aldi is all the wonderful people. My amazing colleagues make every day fun, and interacting with all the customers really brightens my days.”
As for a Specialbuy that gets her running to the middle aisle, Angie said: “All the environmentally friendly products really interest me, including the laundry liquid, fabric conditioner and recycled toilet rolls.”
Laura Domoné, Regional Managing Director at Aldi UK, said: “With around 45,000 colleagues in the UK, it’s fair to say that people are our biggest and most brilliant asset at Aldi. Angie is no exception, and her commitment to Aldi’s values is testament to why we are loved by so many.
“We look forward to celebrating even more of her achievements in the coming years.”
