A DOMESTIC appliance repair firm hopes to create more than 40 North-East jobs in a £2m expansion.

Pacifica Group, in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, has opened a new site in Washington, Wearside.

Bosses say it will deliver about 45 posts.

Founded in 2003, the group is made up of six companies, with its 0800 Repair brand installing, servicing and repairing central heating systems and gas appliances.

Kevin Brown, Pacifica director, said the move will allow the firm to continue targeting more work across Europe.
