Description
John Pye Property has announced plans to create 150 new jobs when it opens in a new site in Chesterfield. The company which has its headquarters in Nottingham is an auction house which works with a number of high street retail clients including John Lewis and DFS. The new site is required in order to provide greater salesroom space to house the increased stock which the company will deal with. There is no information on when the new jobs will be filled, though reports suggest that the business will take ownership of the new site early in 2019.
