In January 2008, Sainsbury's brought the number of its supermarkets in Northern Ireland to eleven, with the purchase of two Curley's Supermarkets in Dungannon and Belfast.<ref>{{cite news|title=Retail giant buys family business|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7190661.stm|work=BBC News|date=16 January 2008|access-date=16 January 2008|archive-date=19 January 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080119055817/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7190661.stm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|title=Sainsbury's in deal with Curley's Supermarket|publisher=Curley's Supermarkets|date=16 January 2008|url=http://www.curleys.co.uk/curleys%20press%20release%20jan%2016th%202008.doc|format=Microsoft Word|access-date=16 January 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080227193831/http://www.curleys.co.uk/curleys%20press%20release%20jan%2016th%202008.doc|archive-date=27 February 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|title=Sainsbury's to Buy North Grocer|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=16 January 2008|access-date=9 November 2008|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2008/0116/breaking17.htm }}</ref>

In November 2007, Sainsbury's centralised its HR department, relocating to the 17th and 18th floors of the [[Manchester Arndale Centre]] to form a Shared Service Centre, which was initially trialled to deal with Recruitment in Scotland and was later rolled out to the whole of the United Kingdom. July 2009 saw the HR Shared Service Centre in Manchester expand to include most HR Processes in its Colleague Administration Department and Occupational Health enquiries in a dedicated unit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.personneltoday.com/hr/sainsburys-to-launch-a-human-resources-shared-services-function-to-improve-its-service/|title=Sainsbury's to launch a human resources shared services function to improve its service|date=26 July 2007|publisher=Personnel Today|access-date=11 April 2017|archive-date=31 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831221015/http://www.personneltoday.com/hr/sainsburys-to-launch-a-human-resources-shared-services-function-to-improve-its-service/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Since April 2012, the centre has begun a gradual relocation to its new offices in the centre of Lincoln, along with a rebrand as Sainsbury's HR Services.<ref>{{cite web |last=Vorster |first=Gareth |date=26 July 2007 |title=Sainsbury's to launch a human resources shared services function to improve its service |url=https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/sainsburys-to-launch-a-human-resources-shared-services-function-to-improve-its-service/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130614113733/http://www.personneltoday.com/articles/26/07/2007/41712/sainsburys-to-launch-a-human-resources-shared-services-function-to-improve-its.htm |archive-date=14 June 2013 |access-date=21 July 2024 |website=Personnel Today }}</ref>
