Expanding DIY chain plans to create 400 jobs

UP to 40 jobs were created in Limerick with the opening of the first Wickes DIY and Home Improvement store in the country.

An additional 410 people will be hired over the next five years as the chain expands its operations across Ireland.

Irish company Moritz Trading Limited, which signed the franchise agreement to bring the retailer to Ireland, announced it has identified locations and is in negotiations to open other stores.
