A sandwich company has been given the go-ahead to expand its operations, creating hundreds of jobs.

Bradford company Tiffin Sandwiches was granted permission to build a 50,000 sq ft (4,645 sq m) factory next to its base on Commondale Way, near the M606.

The company also announced it had purchased another Bradford sandwich company, Love Bites.

A spokesman for Tiffin said the company was "committed to building a sustainable future while ensuring the growth and prosperity of our local community in Bradford".

They told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "The new factory is set to create and secure numerous local jobs, providing opportunities for professional growth and development while fostering relationships with local suppliers.

"Our investment not only strengthens our operations but also boosts the Bradford economy, empowering the community as a whole."

The company thanked Love Bites founders Richard and Gill Smith for their dedication to the business over the past 35 years.

They said: "Their passion and commitment have created a strong foundation, and we are pleased to announce that Richard will continue to play a key role within the business, utilising his extensive industry experience to guide the future of Love Bites."

Last summer Tiffin applied for permission to build a new factory and office space next to its headquarters. It said the £10m project would create about 400 jobs.

The site is currently used as a lorry park.

Approving the development, Bradford Council planning officers said: "The proposal is considered to represent a sustainable form of development which would provide economic development and employment opportunities within the district."
