German retailer Lidl has also announced it is to recruit more than 43 new employees to its Limerick-based operations this year in a variety of operational roles across its 4 stores in the county, which forms part of an overall commitment of 1,200 new roles in Ireland this year

The company says a variety of operational roles will be filled across its three stores in the city and its store in Newcastle West.

As Ireland’s fastest-growing retailer, the roles are being created to support Lidl’s growing customer base in the county and will include a market-leading benefits package, award-winning learning, development, and progression opportunities within the business. Lidl Limerick jobs

The retailer, which has remained open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, also plans to continue to invest locally in its longstanding supplier base supporting the livelihood of many local partners with dedicated promotions including Limerick-based Cahill’s Farm Cheese.

The announcement of the new roles comes as Lidl has been confirmed as one of just 14 Irish companies recognized by the Top Employers Institute as a Top Employer for 2021.

Recently awarded Best COVID-19 Response by a Retailer at the Irish Quality Food Awards, the retailer’s frontline workers dedication has not gone unnoticed and Lidl has now also committed to a €2 million investment in a COVID Employee Bonus for all employees on the island of Ireland, with €38,000 allocated to Limerick-based employees.

Commenting on the announcement, Maeve McCleane, Director of Human Resources for Lidl Ireland said: “Since the onset of the pandemic our teams have demonstrated incredible agility, selflessness, and dedication in serving our local communities, ensuring that our customers across the county had access to the food and supplies they needed. I am pleased to confirm this significant investment in the form of a third bonus to recognize their phenomenal contribution as frontline workers during an exceptionally challenging time.”
