BUSINESS Voice '99, the North West's premier business-to-business exhibition, will celebrate the rich contribution of ethnic minority companies to the local economy.

The ethnic minority business service, which is part of Bolton Council, will stage a Business Bazaar at the show which will be held at Bolton's Reebok Stadium on October 13.

This will reflect the significance of ethnic minority businesses in the town, which employs 1,500 people and generates more than £150 million worth of business each year.
