A COVENTRY bacon business have extended its long-standing 11 year partnership with Aldi.
Becketts is a family owned company which produces bacon eaten by one in seven people across the country every day.
The company have signed a new long-term deal with Aldi which will last until at least 2028 – the longest-standing deal Becketts have had with any UK supermarket.
Becketts, which has been established for more than 40 years, produces around 24million rashers of bacon a week and now supplies 12 products to Aldi including streaky bacon and gammon.
It has expanded its workforce since partnering with the supermarket and now employs more than 500 people.
Guy Shepherd, commercial manager at Becketts, said: “Securing this landmark deal with Aldi is a huge achievement for us.
“Thanks to the supermarket’s support, we can continue to further develop our business by introducing new and innovative products to our range and invest in cutting-edge technology to deliver on the demand for our products.”
Julie Ashfield, managing director of Buying at Aldi UK, added: “Becketts is a much-valued supplier to Aldi, with their products a firm favourite with our customers.
“At Aldi, we take pride in championing British suppliers like Becketts, and we look forward to continuing to offer their high-quality products to our customers in the years to come.”
