It showcased the value of a connected approach between Bolton Council, the University, Royal Bolton Hospital in helping to transform Bolton and bolster to the local economy, with wider insight from potential delivery partners.

Speaking on the success of the event Harinder said: “It was a really insightful event into the tireless work the council and university are doing, to build a better Bolton.

“I feel bringing more employer engagement into future events would be a real benefit, aligning further the university’s centre of excellence vision with the council’s place-making initiatives across the town centre.

“Both work hand in hand attracting and retaining talent with a sustainable living and lifestyle health offer, with health and well-being at its core.

“This is a key part of the attraction in attracting and retaining talent, as well as key employers, to Bolton.”
