Bolton Job

Bolton is situated in the county of Lancashire in the North-West of England. In the past, Bolton was a industrial manufacturing town, now it boasts a population of around 260,000 which includes a few townships such as Farnworth, Horwich and Kearsley. In more recent times, most of the heavy industry has left Bolton and it has transitioned to service industries like call centres and data processing. More and more, hi-tech businesses and IT companies have been moving to the area. Tourists also come to the area to see sites such as the Bolton Steam Museum, Barrow Bridge and Smithhills Hall, these kinds of places bring in visitors from across the country.

There are a few regeneration projects planned for Bolton and its surrounding areas over the next decade or so. This in turn will provide job opportunities for the North-west and jobs in Bolton in particular. There is a £300 million development project called the Bolton Innovation Zone. This has been created in partnership with the University of Bolton. The Church Wharf and the Merchants Quarter are under development as well. This means Bolton Job seekers will have a vast range of companies and industries to acquire a job with. At the start of these developments, there will be a big boom in management and construction jobs, followed on by retail jobs and other jobs in the service sector. Bolton is served well by national and local road networks and rail services. Bolton is positioned well to be a base for a larger and larger community of commuters and these in turn bring many services to the area.
