Scores of new jobs are set to be created by hospitality leader New World Trading Company with the opening of a new North East venue.
The national operator has confirmed plans to bring its drinking and dining brand The Botanist to Sunderland. The Botanist, which is already a popular fixture in Newcastle, is set to open in a unit beneath Sunderland’s new Holiday Inn, which is taking shape on Keel Square.
One of four retail and leisure spaces at street-level beneath the hotel, the move will create around 60 new jobs, as well as delivering a stylish new venue for residents and visitors to enjoy. New World Trading Company, which has 34 venues across the UK including in York, Manchester and Chester, said the move to Wearside was one it was sure would be a big success.
