Popular budget supermarket chain Lidl has announced a third pay rise in the past 12 months for staff paid on an hourly basis.
This will see any Lidl workers paid an hourly wage receive a minimum of £12.40 across the country, rising from the brand's previous rate of £12.
In London, colleagues will see entry level pay rise to £13.65, up from £13.55, with the higher amount being due to the London Living Wage.
The new base rate meets an industry-leading benchmark, as it will equal the best hourly pay in the sector.
The latest move represents an investment of over £2.5million, following a £37million investment in March 2024, as well as an £8million raise in September 2023, bringing the total investment in pay over the past 12 months to nearly £50million.

Lidl's hourly pay rates for colleagues also increase with length of service, with pay reaching £13.00 nationally and £14.00 within London.
