But Mr Boland said it was hoped that more work would be brought from overseas to Peterborough and that could mean the creation of further 100 jobs.

The official opening was carried out by North West Cambridgeshire MP Shailesh Vara.

He said: "The arrival of Addison Lee to Peterborough and the creation of so many quality jobs is wonderful news for the city."
