A BOLTON councillor and world-record holding paralympian are giving their support to a new local sportswear brand.

Horwich North East Cllr Richard Silvester and friend Tony Griffin, one of the country’s most decorated paralympians, are backing the online clothing company FvIT brand which was launched in Bolton in March.

The company offers branded sportswear and leisurewear including t-shirts, polo shirts, baseball caps and varsity jackets.

Mr Griffin said: “I am proud to support FvIT. I like the range of sportswear that is on offer."

Cllr Silvester said: “I am always pleased to support local Bolton businesses and I hope this new Bolton company will be successful."

“I would say to everyone, check out the website now and see what you think."
