A NATIONWIDE flooring firm is laying the foundations for a successful future in Bury.

Floors-2-Go have opened a 375 sq metres showroom in Bolton Street, employing a four-strong staff. Bury's mayor and mayoress, Councillor Wilf Davison and his wife Maureen, carried out the ceremony.

The opening strengthens the company's foothold locally. There are five other Floors-2- Go businesses operating in the Manchester area and more than 70 throughout England and Wales.

The company stocks and sells a large range of pre-packed laminate and hardwood flooring plus accessories to customers and trade. The opening of the premises in Bury helps continue the town's retail renaissance.
