Sainsbury's to bring jobs to Manchester

26/07/2007

Some 250 jobs are to be created in Manchester over the next two years in a new human resources (HR) base for Sainsbury's.

The high street supermarket is to invest £12 million into the city and develop a HR base for its shops across the UK to use, according to investment agency Midas and the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA).

Sainsbury's has decided to relocate to the Arndale Tower, which sits at the heart of the city centre.

"Manchester and the north west has much to offer potential investors, including good transport links and a large and talented skills base," said Colin Sinclair, Midas' chief executive.

"The organisation will make a wonderful addition to the growing shared services sector in the region," he added.

Much of the Arndale shopping centre was rebuilt after the 1996 terrorist bomb.
