Exploring new flavors through job rotation Florine, Team Manager Food Specials at Lidl GB, has been with #teamlidl for almost five years. She began her journey as a trainee in Food Specials at Lidl Nederland and quickly rose to team lead in the same department. Now, as part of the Lidl International Job Rotation Program, she’s spending two years in Great Britain as a team manager. ❤️💙💛 "I’ve stayed in the same department where I started because I’ve been hooked since day one. I love working in the test kitchens, trying out new foods. Every week, we test products for upcoming promotions like Italian Week, and that’s one of my favorite parts of the job!" Florine’s role involves selecting special food items for themed weeks, like 'country weeks' or seasonal holidays. These are products that aren’t part of regular assortment of Lidl. "My team’s mission is to inspire our customers. For Italian Week, for example, we aim to inspire them to try new Italian dishes, adding fresh variety to their everyday shopping." 🍝🍕   Her international experience has taken her to places like Barcelona, New York, and London. Thanks to Lidl, she also has the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from other Lidl countries in Great Britain. Now she’s fully embracing the international and culinary experience. "It’s fascinating to see so many Lidl own brands here in Great Britain, with flavors different from what I’m used to in the Netherlands. I’ve especially enjoyed trying Scotch eggs and meat feast pizza!" 😋   What’s the most exciting culinary experience you've had while working abroad?

Building memories together with the Lidl Kid Team Theofanis, Assistant Purchasing Manager at Lidl Cyprus, has been part of #teamlidl since 2016. Recently, he and his daughter Rene were chosen as the lucky winners of the Lidl Kids Team program. This opportunity allowed Rene to walk out with the soccer players at the UEFA EURO 2024™ in Germany. As Theofanis describes, "I am still speechless. When I first read the email about winning, I couldn’t believe it. I had to read it three times!" 🤩 Theofanis and Rene traveled to Munich for the football match. "Everything was so well organized by our colleagues. At the hotel, there were plenty of activities for the kids, so Rene had a fantastic time. She made new friends from different Lidl countries, and even though they didn’t all speak the same language, they got along great! We also met other winners who had participated in customer activations. This made the experience even more special." ❤️💙💛  For Theofanis, this experience was incredibly valuable as it strengthened his bond with Rene, allowing them to spend quality time together and create lasting memories. "One of the best parts is that Rene now prefers eating healthier foods after the experience. As parents, we also enjoyed ourselves - exploring the city of Munich and learning about German culture. For Rene and me, it was truly unforgettable." 🥕✨ What’s your favorite memory from a family trip or event?

Tailwind Intermodal: new rail operator on the Koper-Graz route 🚆 On September 3, Tailwind Intermodal’s Panther Shuttle arrived in Graz, Austria. This marks Tailwind Intermodal’s debut on the Koper (Slovenia) – Graz (Austria) route. The Panther Shuttle offers freight forwarders and shipping companies five direct connections per week in each direction. “Thanks to its geographical location between the Adriatic and the Baltic, the Graz freight terminal, in conjunction with the port of Koper, forms an ideal connection to Eastern and Southeastern Europe. With the direct train connection between these strategically ideally located freight centers, we are establishing ourselves as an intermodal service provider for everyone who has containers transported between the Mediterranean and Eastern and Southeastern Europe,” explains Christian Steindl, Vice President of Tailwind Intermodal. As a sister company of TAILWIND Shipping Lines, which calls at the Adriatic port of Koper, Tailwind Intermodal is also responsible for container onward carriage to the hinterland and the return to Koper. Together the both companies enhance supply chains between China and Europa by combining sea freight and on-land freight.

International day of charity: how Lidl is giving back Today is the #InternationalDayOfCharity: chosen to honor the memory of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Charity strengthens social bonds and helps build inclusive communities. At Lidl, being an integral part of the communities, we operate in, is important to us. We recognize our social responsibility as a food retailer. This is why we actively participate in various charity initiatives across Lidl countries. We're excited to share some heartfelt projects from Lidl Slovenija, Lidl Srbija KD, and in Lidl România. ❤️💙💛 ♻️ In Slovenia, Lidl launched several initiatives, including the "Bottles for Heroes" campaign, to raise funds for children with cancer and at the same time contribute to a cleaner environment. By donating part of the proceeds from the sale of Deluxe products, they supported children and young people in need of medical or development aid. Lidl Slovenia also donated to the "Wink at the Sun" campaign to fund summer holidays for children with special needs. 🩸 In Serbia, the collaboration with "Red Cross Serbia" facilitated blood donation drives, ensuring stable blood reserves, and Lidl Serbia also carried out a campaign to raise awareness about disability, particularly regarding accessible parking spaces.  🍴 In Romania, Lidl partnered with the "Din Grija pentru Copii" Association to support the "Tasty and Healthy on Hospital Plate" program, enhancing the quality of meals for hospitalized children. “Hospitalized children are already in a vulnerable situation and need all the help they can get to heal, including nutritious food. We, at Lidl, are happy to be part of their healing stories and put smiles on their plates and their faces,” says Maria Mihai, Head of Corporate Affairs at Lidl România.
