Aldi has said that it is looking into future use of its soon to be axed distribution centre in Atherstone. CoventryLive revealed that the national name is going to close the transport


section at its national HQ in Holly Lane. It confirmed that the transport section is going to be relocated to a new site in Leicester. It means that all of the staff at the Atherstone hub


will have to relocate. The new site in Bardon is at least 25 minutes away from the Atherstone site. Aldi has said that all impacted distribution will be offered equivalent jobs at the new


Leicester site. READ MORE: BROTHERS CHARGED WITH NUNEATON ATTEMPTED MURDER READ MORE: ALDI CONFIRMS ATHERSTONE DISTRIBUTION CLOSURE WITH STAFF BEING FORCED TO RELOCATE The Holly Lane HQ is


set to remain open and Aldi has said that it does intend to 'repurpose' the distribution centre. But it is not yet known what it will become. It is known that the relocation of the


distribution hub from Atherstone to Leicester is set to take around two years. An Aldi spokesperson said: "We intend to repurpose the Atherstone RDC. "Discussions are ongoing


about potential future uses, but no decision is expected on its long-term future for several years."
