Sir Nigel Knowles, chairman of the Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnership, said the investment in the Hellaby firm was great news.
He added: “This comes just days after he signed-off the legislation to put in place a mayor in our city region which is another step to making our unique devolution deal a reality. I would like to thank him personally for this swift and unequivocal act.
"This deal brings decision-making for our economic future closer to the residents and businesses within the region, one pot of £1.3 billion.”
