Thirty jobs are being created at a private health clinic in Sheffield city centre offering tests for up to £295.

Randox, the Sheffield United shirt sponsor, is opening in the former H Samuel unit on Fargate, next to M&S, in June.

It will sell tests for vitamin deficiencies, hormone imbalances, allergies and heart, liver and kidney conditions. It will also offer ‘full body testing’ from £295.

The news is a boost for the premium shopping street which is more than 40 per cent empty.

The former H Samuel was revamped at Christmas with new windows replacing the corridor between display cabinets.

During the pandemic, Randox received nearly £800 million in Government Covid testing contracts.

The firm paid £100,000 to Tory MP Owen Paterson who was found to have broken lobbying rules after texting health ministers recommending its services. He later resigned.

Now, it is rolling out 20 high street health clinics nationally.

It will offer blood pressure testing for a fee.
