BOLTON has a proud history of manufacturing - and there are still companies leading the way today.

Whether it is innovations such as Samuel Crompton's spinning mule or the Foster brothers’ foresight which led to the first running spikes and the global Reebok brand, Bolton pioneers have been blazing the trail for centuries.

We have put back the deadline but it has to close today.
