As with her salary, Julie Ashfield’s net worth is not known to the public, but Aldi UK has a net worth of £13.65 billion.
Aldi Sud started its UK branch in 1990, spreading to 956 branches. Not only is the UK branch very successful, but it is one of their top branches outside of Germany and the US, which is saying something given the UK’s tiny geographical location.
Aldi has also won Supermarket of the Year for two years in the country from 2012 to 2013.
The company also won the Grocer of the Year Award in 2013, and they would have won Supermarket of the Year again in February 2015 but narrowly lost to Waitrose. However, a couple of months later, in the same year, in April, they overtook Waitrose and became the United Kingdom’s sixth-largest supermarket chain.
Their grip on the country has only increased as the years go by, as in February 2017, they overtook Co-op to become the UK’s fifth largest supermarket chain. But the year wasn’t perfect as Marks & Spencer beat them for the title of Supermarket of the Year 2017.
However, despite the award losses, it was reported that nearly two-thirds of UK households visited an Aldi branch at least once every 12 weeks.
