New Ikea superstore to bring hundreds of jobs to Sheffield

More than 400 jobs will be created at a new superstore in Sheffield due to open in the late summer.

The furniture giant Ikea is building an outlet on the site of the old Tinsley wire factory off Sheffield Road near Meadowhall.

The store has been several years in the planning.

The Swedish flat pack furniture giant said the retail roles will see the total number of staff employed in the UK rise to 11,700.
