Speaking about how Grow with Aldi programme has benefitted Lisduff Fine Foods, Katie Tormey said:


“It really helped our business during a very hard time and to be honest couldn’t of came at a better time. The whole experience helped when business began to slow down and gave us a boost throughout a difficult time. Even down to Aldi organising us to get quicker than usual so no one was under pressure. They really thought of everything to ensure everyone was ok and enjoying the experience.”
