A supermarket worker is celebrating 20 years at the same store.

Nicola Cross, a store assistant at Aldi in Lowestoft, first joined the supermarket in 2004 after previously working for a food manufacturer.

Over the years, she has worked as deputy store manager and has helped out at several store openings.

She also climbed the O2 Arena to raise money for the supermarket’s dedicated charity, Teenage Cancer Trust.

She said: “The fantastic team I work with make every day enjoyable and even the busiest of days is made fun by my work family.”

“As well as offering every colleague the job satisfaction they deserve, we invest in a whole range of fantastic training courses year after year, making sure all our colleagues love being a part of Team Aldi.”
