A supermarket chain is encouraging people to nominate staff who have brightened their day.

Ahead of World Kindness Day on November 13, Aldi is asking shoppers in Cheshire to recognise their in-store colleagues who have made a difference through their kindness.

Whether it's helping customers find products or pausing for a friendly chat, the supermarket wants to celebrate the staff who have gone the extra mile to make a difference to customers.

The workers who receive the most nominations will win a spa break for two as a gesture of thanks for their hard work and dedication.

To participate, customers should submit the colleague’s name, store location, and 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."

Aldi continues to offer the 'best hourly rates in the sector' and remains the only supermarket to provide paid breaks, which according to the company is worth more than £900 a year for the average store assistant.
