“I am honoured to have the opportunity to lead the Aldi Ireland team and to contribute to our efforts nationwide, particularly as our teams work to help feed the nation,” said O’Connor.
“Having worked for Aldi for the last 20 years, I know first-hand the dedication of our staff and suppliers across the country, but never more so than now have their efforts to continue to deliver outstanding quality food been in such focus. I look forward to working closely with Giles Hurley in supporting and leading the Aldi Ireland team as we continue to serve communities both now and into the future,” he added.
