AHEAD of World Kindness Day on November 13, Aldi is encouraging its Ayrshire shoppers to nominate store staff who have brightened their day.

Whether they have assisted in finding products during a shopping trip or paused for a friendly chat, Aldi wants to know who has made a difference to customers through kindness.

Colleagues who receive the most nominations will receive a spa break for two as a thank-you for their hard work and dedication.

To participate, shoppers should submit the colleague’s name, store location and a short note of no more than 100 words on why their nomination deserves to win to  colleaguechampions@citypress.co.uk by December 11.

Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi, said: “At Aldi, we know the impact that small gestures can have, especially in today’s fast-paced world.

"This initiative is a heartfelt reminder of the essential role our colleagues play in creating a welcoming and supportive environment for our customers.

“We believe that every act of kindness deserves to be recognised and celebrated, which is why we are calling on the nation to help us give back to our amazing colleagues.”
