ETHNIC minority businesses will be featured as part of the Business Voice exhibition taking place at the Reebok Stadium next month.

The Business Bazaar will highlight a sector of Bolton's economy which has responsibility for more than 1,500 jobs and generates more than £150 million every year towards the local economy.

The Bazaar will also be an opportunity for exhibitors to expand their customer base and to network with other ethnic minority and mainstream businesses.

Initiative

There will also be a series of cultural and business development workshops with an ethnic dimension.

The Ethnic Minority Business Service, part of Bolton Council's Economic and Physical Development Unit, is to lead the initiative in partnership with Business Link, the 3Ds Partnership and the private sector.

Business Voice takes place on October 13 and 14.

Businesses wishing to take part in the Business Bazaar should contact Aysha Patel on 01204 391494.
