A SPECIAL forum which will bring Bury and Bolton businesses together is to be staged later this month.

The event, to be held on Wednesday, June 12 at the Holiday Inn, Bolton, is being organised by the Employment Service's Jobcentre Plus team.

Guest speaker at the forum, which will take place between noon and 1.30pm with lunch provided, will be Alan Neil from ACAS who will speak on Employment Relations to include the Employment Bill.

In response to employer's requests, the bulk of the forum will be dedicated to a networking session.

Representatives from both the Business Support Team (Inland Revenue) and Disability Services will also be present for visitors to meet.
