The firm’s director of HR, Tim Painter, said: “We are delighted to bring these exciting opportunities to Sheffield and we are excited as a business to be able to start doing our bit in rebuilding the local and national economy.

“As a company we represent a great opportunity for young people starting their careers, as well as anyone who wants a fresh start in a vibrant and exciting industry that is full of possibility.”

Stonegate says it is looking for customer focused, passionate and hard-working people to join its growing team. The firm is currently advertising for more than 1,000 roles across the UK on its 4,470 managed, leased and tenanted sites as it prepares for the summer and beyond.
