UK shopfitter TSF Retail Solutions hopes to create 60 jobs in the region after moving its head office to Washington, Wearside.

The company has already taken on 40 staff following its move to a 34,000sq ft centre on the Glover Industrial Estate.

TSF, which supplies a number of household names, including Asda, Iceland, Co-op and Homebase, said it was confident the new employees would be recruited in the next six months.

Director Martin Orr said: "TSF Retail Solutions and its Tyneside Shopfitters division continues to go from strength to strength and we are on target to reach a turnover of £23m this financial year.

TSF was helped with the move by a grant and support from City of Sunderland Council.
