A COUPLE from Bolton have realised a business dream with a helping hand from a football club chairman.

Mick Appleton and Sharon Leeson have opened the doors at Dream Doors Bury and Bolton, in Bury New Road, Bolton.

Chorley FC chairman Ken Wright was on hand to cut the ribbon at the fledgling firm.

Ex-child therapist Sharon said: "It’s been a great day and it was lovely to see so many people turn up.

“It was also great to have Ken here to cut the ribbon and to be able to talk to him about Chorley’s promotion back into the National League."

Mick added: "We're a family-run business and we would like to invite everyone in the area to come in and have a look around."
