Sofa specialist CSL plans 15 new shops

Sofa specialist CSL has announced plans to create up to 300 jobs by opening a further 15 shops over the next five years.

The firm, which already operates 16 shops, chiefly in the north of England, said it is eyeing locations in the Midlands and south of England to establish a UK-wide presence.

CSL was founded by husband and wife Brian and Mary Tyldesley in 1984 with a single shop in Burnley, Lancashire.
