ONLINE electricals giant AO has announced a partnership with the discount chain Aldi.

The agreement covers the delivery of the supermarket firm's Specialbuys range.

Wines and spirits are already available to buy online from Aldi.

But the deal by Bolton-based AO will cover everything from barbecues and patio furniture to sports equipment, which may require two to deliver.

David Ashwell, AO Logistics managing director, said: "“We are extremely proud of the award-winning logistics capability we have built here at AO.

"There's no better stamp of approval than other retailers, like Aldi, wanting to partner with us to help them deliver exceptional service to their customers."
