THE official launch of Business Link Bolton and Bury is to be on Tuesday, July 2.

General manager John Weir said today that that they were in the process of negotiating guest speakers.

The new organisation - part of a national Government-inspired chain - is based at the Bolton Business Centre in Lower Bridgeman Street and Link House, Bury. It is a division of BBTEC.

Mr Weir and his team are now working towards the launch, which is likely to feature a video conferencing link between the two venues.

BBTEC director Joan Spours, who owns The Design Company in Blackburn Street, Radcliffe, is to be the chairperson of the new Business Link.
