Kickstart Supplier Development Programme
Lidl’s Kickstart Supplier Development Programme provides small and medium, local producers an opportunity to supply their quality produce to over 200 stores on the island of Ireland, and the potential to gain a permanent assortment listing.
The programme is designed to give producers the opportunity to advance their product, brand, and business with dedicated support from Lidl experts along the way.
