Three Aldi Cork staff members were honoured with long service awards for their tenure within the company.
Margaret Lynch began her Aldi career 25 years ago, and Claudia David and Justin Lowe were also acknowledged for their service.
Margaret gained valuable experience across her career by working in a number of Cork stores such as Ballincollig, Grange, Fermoy and Mayfield, where she is currently the assistant store manager.
Margaret said “no two days” are ever the same in her job.
“What drew me to Aldi initially was the nature of the job and the opportunities for career progression.
“No two days are the same, and every day is a school day, with a new challenge to take on or a new skill to learn,” she said.
Claudia David celebrated 10 years with the company, where she progressed from a store assistant at the start of her career to assistant store manage in Ballincollig at the present day.
Committed to maintaining a healthy work-life balance, Claudia cherishes spending quality time with her family and son outside of work.
Claudia said she is “proud” to be a part of the Ballincollig team.
“For me, being an assistant store manager is more than just a job title; it is a responsibility and commitment to motivate and support the Aldi Ballincollig store team,” she said.
Mallow man Justin Lowe joined the company as a transport loader in 2015, where he has progressed to a section leader and has been based at Aldi’s Mitchelstown Regional Distribution Centre since.
Justin said it is “an honour” to be recognised for his service to the company.
“This milestone reflects years of learning and growth since 2015. My role as Section Leader is rewarding, allowing me to build many valuable friendships over the past ten years,” he said.
Colin Breslin, Managing Director of Operations at ALDI Ireland, said: “We take great pride in celebrating Margaret, Claudia and Justin’s long-standing experience with ALDI. Their dedication has played a key part in our business, and I would like to thank them for their valuable contribution to ALDI’s presence in Cork.”
