A CAR dealer in Bolton is holding a Christmas party for the children and grandchildren of its staff, complete with a visit from Father Christmas.

The event takes place at Williams BMW in Raikes Lane on Saturday, where daughter of the company's founder Margaret Orton-Williams give out mince pies she has made for all the staff and a three-course lunch.

Mrs Orton-Williams started baking in July in order to have enough for Williams' 12 BMW, LandRover, Mini and BMW Motorcycle retail centres around the North West.

Head of business at Williams Bolton, Steve Dixon, said: “As a traditional family-run company, we have strong family values and are committed to keeping long-held traditions alive.
