A WALLPAPER design company will soon be moving premises to the former St James Church in Waterfoot.

Tim Wilman is currently based at Bacup Road but will be moving to the former church in five or six weeks.

The company is owned by Tim Wilman, son of wallpaper magnate John Wilman, and Malcolm Vaughan and was incorporated 18 months ago.

Since last October the workforce has increased from five to 13 in readiness for the move.
