Andrew Cardwell, managing director of Cardwells, said: “Richard, my father, and I have long been admirers of the wonderful work and care that Bolton Hospice provides to the local people of Bolton.

"As a small Bolton business we are proud to give our support to their magnificent charity, safe in the knowledge that they will continue to provide love, compassion and respect for members of our Bolton community when they need it most.”
