Creative Sheffield chief executive Ian Bromley said: “This is the most authoritative business plan any UK city has seen.

“Sheffield had the highest employment growth of all UK core cities during the 10 years to 2005, with 73,000 new jobs, which shows we have the track record to deliver on our ambitions.”
