Lidl GB

A true Lidl hero! 👏 Our colleagues are at the heart of the communities they serve, and that couldn’t have been clearer during Storm Bert last November. When severe flooding hit Lydney, our Lidl GB colleague Jakub took decisive action, helping to divert traffic when emergency services couldn't reach the scene, and his quick thinking may well have saved lives. Three months later, that incredible effort was recognised in a very special way. Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal visited Lydney to unveil a plaque, marking how the town came together in the face of adversity – and Jakub was invited to meet HRH. At Lidl GB, we celebrate the actions of our teams every single day, but it’s not every day our colleagues get recognised by royalty 👑 We’re incredibly proud of Jakub and the entire Lydney store team for bringing our values to life. In challenging times communities stand strong together – and our Lidl colleagues play a huge part in that ❤️💛💙 #LidlHero #LidlGB #teamlidl #Proud #Lydney

We're committing to #AccelerateAction! 💜 Tomorrow is International Women’s Day and we’re reflecting on the role we play as an employer of 35,000 people in driving meaningful change. As our Chief People Officer, Stephanie Rogers, shared – change happens when we open doors and create opportunities for women to thrive. That’s why we’re proud to be rolling out our ‘Mentoring for Women in Sales Leadership’ scheme nationally, helping more women step into leadership roles. Plus, over the coming weeks, we’ll be celebrating with Lidl GB colleagues from Exeter to Motherwell, championing women and recognising their achievements. Stay tuned for more about this later in March! #IWD #InternationalWomensDay #AccelerateAction #teamlidl #LidlGB

Too many young people feel their problems aren’t ‘big enough’ to ask for help. With so much misleading mental health information online, many are left struggling without proper support. That’s why we’re proud to fully fund the NSPCC’s Unbox Your Brain campaign. The NSPCC is teaming up with popular content creators on platforms that young people love, making it easier to talk about mental health and get the support they need. As a business rooted in the communities we serve, we’re committed to making a difference. Talking about mental health should feel as natural as any other conversation 💚 #NSPCC #UnboxYourBrain #Childline #LidlGB

Tonight marks the beginning of Ramadan, and many of our colleagues, customers, and followers will be preparing for this period of deep spiritual reflection, fasting, and community bonding. 🌙   To support our teams, we created an exclusive Ramadan Podcast, hosted by our DE&I Consultant, Momena, who spoke with Anila from our Head Office Sales team about what Ramadan means to them.   They discussed how Ramadan is a time of reflection, goal-setting, discipline, and striving to become a better version of oneself through prayer, spending time with family, and helping others. 🤝   Thank you to both of them for sharing their experiences. We wish everyone a month filled with peace, reflection, and togetherness. 🙏   #RamadanMubarak #LidlGB #Community #Inclusion

Valentine’s Day may be over, but our colleagues are still sharing the love ❤️     At Lidl GB, we believe in making a difference, and our Stourbridge store team embody that completely. Instead of letting beautiful surplus flowers go to waste after Valentine’s Day, they donated them to their local dementia ward at Ashbourne Care home in Dudley, bringing smiles and a touch of spring to residents and staff ☺️💐    It's heart warming to see the positive impact these small acts of generosity can have on our communities. A big thank you to our Stourbridge team for their thoughtfulness and to the dementia ward for the fantastic job they do every day 🙌   #WeMakeADifference #LidlGB #Giving

Last week we hosted our first-ever Grassroots Farming Conference at Harper Adams University, bringing together over 130 British farmers, food producers, and industry leaders to shape the future of British agriculture across two days 🚜 Our packed agenda included: ➡ “Lidl in Dialogue” – an interactive panel session giving attendees an opportunity to engage our sustainability and commercial teams and industry stakeholders on the challenges and opportunities shaping the sector. ➡ Expert-led discussions on agricultural policy, regenerative farming, livestock behaviour monitoring technology, and mental health, and more. ➡ Hands-on demonstrations on topics such as soil health and butchery. But we’re not just talking about supporting British suppliers – we’re doing it. In 2024 alone we invested £5bn, which included: 🥕 £70m into British root vegetables. 🐖 £500m into British Pork. 🐄 £1.5bn into British Beef. 🥚 £1bn into British eggs. And we’re on track to exceed our five-year commitment by 40%, investing £21bn by the end of FY24 👊 A huge thank you to the School of Sustainable Food and Farming @ Harper Adams University for hosting the event and to all our attendees – your passion and insights drive us all forward!

What does it take to keep over 90 Lidl stores stocked and running smoothly? 👀 A warehouse the size of seven football pitches (58,000m²) and a team of 650+ dedicated colleagues making it happen every single day! Since opening just over six years ago, our regional distribution centre (RDC) at Doncaster’s iPort has grown to service 90+ stores – almost double the number it first opened with, including our newest store in Preston, which opened just last week! 🚀 Since opening, our Doncaster facility has: 📦 Picked over 500 MILLION cases for 90+ stores across the North of England, and the Midlands. ♻ Recycled 10,000+ tonnes of carboard in FY24 alone. 🚚 Shipped 6.5 million pallets. None of this would be possible without our incredible colleagues who keep everything moving, day in day out 👏 💡 Fancy joining the team at one of our RDC’s?

What a fantastic way to kick off ANOTHER new store opening! 🚀 A huge welcome to our new colleagues at Preston - The Cawsey. We’re thrilled to have you on board as part of #teamlidl. Having our Regional Head of Property and Preston local, Stuart Jardine, see the store come to life was a highlight. Stuart played a crucial role in bringing this store to fruition, making the moment even more special as his granddaughter cut the ribbon 🎀✂ A massive thank you to the incredible teams across property, sales, logistics, supply chain, and HR who made this happen 👏. With each new store, we’re excited to bring even more high-quality, great-value shopping to communities across the country 🎉 #LidlGB #LidlExpansion #LidlPreston

Lidl GB x TikTok Shop: Here today, gone in 18 minutes! ⏳🔥   We’re always on the lookout for fresh ways to engage with our customers, and this morning was a big one. Our exclusive high-protein bundles dropped on TikTok Shop in a supermarket first for GB… and they flew off the (virtual) shelves in record time 💪   A huge thanks to everyone who got involved – what a way to make our TikTok shop debut! And with all proceeds going to the NSPCC, it was a sell-out success in more ways than one.   #LidlGB #TikTokShop #HighProtein 

We’re SUPER excited to have partnered with Channel 4 to produce ‘Batch from Scratch – Cooking for Less’.    It’s a programme that has the potential to help households across the nation save both time and money, while also cutting food waste, so we were delighted (but not all that surprised) to find out it was Channel 4’s most watched show on Monday, peaking at almost a million viewers.    In this brand new six-part series, Joe Swash and Suzanne Mulholland (aka The Batch Lady), help families turn mealtime struggles into stress-free savings.    They break down every meal eaten, every minute wasted, and every pound spent – then show how to cut costs, save time, and create delicious batch-cooked meals for the freezer 🍝   With clever hacks, monthly meal plans, and just one weekly Lidl shop, they make feeding the family easier than ever 👊   But there’s more…    Starting February 20th, we’re launching a new range of supporting Non-Food products to help households cook smarter. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀   Missed Monday’s episode? Get a little taster from the trailer below 👇 and head to Channel 4 to watch the full episode on demand.   #LidlGB #BatchFromScratch
