Why invest in Bolton?
With a population of 300,000, and a total of one million people living within just 45 minutes, Bolton has the second highest employee base in Greater Manchester and £4.6bn of economic output each year.
Geographically, it is uniquely placed to benefit from the new Greater Manchester Trailblazer devolution deal, to take advantage of the economic opportunities in the Wigan-Bolton Growth Corridor, and to retain its strong historic and economic links with Lancashire to the North.
Bolton has everything investors need to succeed. It is already one of the most digitally connected towns in the UK and benefits from strong local leadership, a strategic vision, a pipeline of talent and skills development, and great transport infrastructure.
The recent announcement by Andy Burnham of a new Mayoral Development Corporation for Bolton will turbo-charge our regeneration plans and support our ambitions for the future.
