Up to 422 new jobs created after major supermarket opens new distribution centre in Wentloog

Up to 422 new jobs have already been created after leading discount supermarket chain Aldi has opened a new distribution centre and regional office at Capital Business Park in Wentloog, a news report has been able to suggest.

The facility will serve as a hub for the retailer’s portfolio of stores across South Wales and the South West of England and was supported with £4.5m business finance from the Welsh Government.

A further 400 new jobs are set to be created across South Wales as Aldi plans to open up new supermarkets.

Dan Oakenfull, managing director of the Cardiff Regional Distribution Centre, said: "South Wales and the South West of England continue to be areas of significant growth for us, and the new distribution centre will help support our immediate and future expansion across the regions."

The Welsh Government funding was towards the abnormal land development costs of more than £5m to get the site ready for construction. Unforeseen ground conditions and hydrological and ecological restraint meant the construction of the new centre would not have been viable without funding support.
