We're Better, Connected
 

We are proud to support The BIG Bolton Fund. The 02 store in Middlebrook is one of the most successful throughout the UK and this would not have been possible without the support of the Bolton community, so we are delighted to be able to give something back via the fund. Our staff will be getting involved in fundraising over the next 12 months and we look forward to working in partnership with The BIG Bolton Fund as our chosen charity of choice.
Newton Fox is a newly amalgamated company (Red Fox Telemarketing & Newton Business Solutions joining forces) based in Bolton providing Recruitment, Bookkeeping and Telemarketing. Chris Harding of Newton Fox added, “We feel it is important to support the community. The BIG Bolton Fund allows us to support a charity that gives to a variety of causes rather than just one. The BIG Bolton Fund doesn’t just benefit us as residents of Bolton but our families, our staff and our customers.”

As a company, we actively work with community groups and schools. So, being involved with The BIG Bolton Fund was an easy decision for us. We are really excited. The BIG Bolton Fund supports and helps my customers, staff, family and friends and makes a huge difference to the community." - Oliver Wotherspoon, Owner, Cool Canvas UK
