Mark Logan, MP for Bolton North East, has chaired a meeting of business leaders at Bolton University. Organised by the Conservative Friends of India, attendees ranged from food producers to security agencies, dentists to solicitors, and many more.
Conservative Friends of India (CF India) seeks to build stronger links between the Conservative Party, the British Indian community, and India. It recognises the successes and values of British Indians and advocates closer relations between India and Britain for the benefit of both nations.
Commenting on the meeting, Mark Logan MP, said:
"It's fantastic to bring local business owners together to help drive forward investment in Bolton. Our borough is becoming a centre for investment and development, and the role those local businesses, like those who attended today, play is second to none."
"I would like to thank Conservative Friends of India, along with Councillors Martyn Cox and Mudasir Dean, for attending and organising the event."
Mudasir Dean, Councillor for Bradshaw ward, said:
"Today has been great; we've brought together local and international businesspeople to help grow investment in Bolton. Direct foreign investment is a driving force for change, helping to create highly skilled jobs for local people, investing in our town centre, and improving the lives of residents across Bolton."
Mark Logan MP has been a vocal advocate for attracting investment to Bolton, having secured over £70 million worth of government investment to create a town fit for 21st century shopping and lifestyle habits.
