Jobs Boost For Northern Ireland


Sainsbury’s is creating almost 200 jobs at supermarkets in Carrickfergus and Belfast, it announced today.

Recruitment of 150 employees to work at its new store in Carrickfergus begins this week. The store is due to open late in the year, reports The Irish Times. The store was recently acquired from Co-Op and is also offering employment to the 40 existing staff.

Meanwhile the west Belfast store which opened earlier this month is to recruit 40 extra staff because it has been trading beyond initial expectations, said Sainsbury’s.
