Lidl To Create Dozens Of Supermarket Jobs In Tyneside

A brand new Lidl is to create dozens of supermarket jobs in Tyneside when it is completed next year.

The new Lidl is to be built on Stephenson Industrial Estate in Killingworth in North Tyneside and up to 40 full or part time jobs will be supported by the new supermarket.

Work is already underway at the site, with Lidl partnering up with North East construction firm Taemar to complete the build as early as next summer.

North Tyneside Council gave planning permission for the new Lidl earlier in 2016 and the store will add to the German supermarket chains’ current portfolio of more than 600 outlets in the UK. The discount chain eventually hopes to more than double its existing number of supermarkets in the UK to around 1,500 stores

The regional Head of Property for Lidl in the UK, David Murphy, said: “There’s been much anticipation for this new Lidl store and it’s great that we are now in a position to break the ground and start the build.”

“We are extremely grateful for all the support that we have received so far, and would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding whilst we enter this next phase of the development,” added Mr Murphy.

Lidl has increased its UK customer base by over 8 percent in the past twelve months, with the chain seeing more than 6 million shoppers pass through its tills each week.
