Sky's betting and gaming division has announced plans to create 200 new jobs at sites in Yorkshire. 100 jobs are to be added in both Sheffield and Leeds, which will bring the company's employment up to 900 across Yorkshire. Earlier in 2015 jobs were added to the Leeds site as the company continues to expand. The jobs are being supported by an 11 million GBP investment plan and 250,000 GBP is being spent on a marketing campaign to support the recruitment drive. It is not known when the vacancies will be filled.
