A MYSTERY high-profile company will find out later this week whether its plans for a new hub in Bolton - which could create 1200 jobs - can go ahead.

The firm, which is yet to be identified but is understood to be a major multi-national operation, has submitted plans to modify an existing facility at the Logistics North employment park at the former Cutacre site in Over Hulton.

The new hub will be based at Plot E1 at Logistics North, off the M61 motorway and will involve adding major extensions on to an existing distribution and storage facility, which was created speculatively by Harworth Group — the developer behind Logistics North.

If plans are approved, hundreds of new jobs will be created for people from Bolton. The meeting is on Thursday at 12.30pm in side Lecture Theatre 1 at Bolton Central Library, follow updates online.
