A Staffordshire drinks company looks set for growth after one of its newest customers announced record investment plans.
Bobbington-based Halfpenny Green says Aldi's pledge to invest more than £1.3 billion over the next two years will create new opportunities for the business.
The investment will include the opening of 100 new stores and develop new and expanded distribution centres by 2023, creating thousands of additional jobs.
Halfpenny Green began its partnership with the supermarket giant in September, supplying Aldi with its award-winning white and red wines for Aldi's Specially Selected range.
Clive Vickers, managing director at Halfpenny Green, said: "Whilst our partnership with Aldi is in its early stages, the team has been incredibly supportive of us since we launched our products into stores for the first time.
"We have exciting plans over the next year to develop the partnership, and look forward to continuing to work with a retailer that is so clearly focussed on investing in UK suppliers."
Aldi, which sources its entire core range of fresh meat, eggs, milk, butter and cream from British suppliers, said it spent an extra £1 billion with UK companies last year, taking its total to £9 billion.
