Applied for Christmas Casual at Bolton

Post by niallmcfc »

Hi just applied for the christmas casual job at bolton and got an interview tomorrow but heard off someone that the centre which is in farnworth has closed down. Went down tonight and it was locked up with all the vans in the car park. I was just wondering if its still open, obviously i will find out tomorrow but id rather know now. On the site when i applied for the job it says its a stonehill in farnworth but didnt look like much was going on. By the way i have just been down so they may have locked up if shifts are over as it is quite late.

Don't know what's happening at Bolton, but if they are interviewing you for a job there they must need people.
Even if it is presently closed, it may be that they will reopen it for the Xmas pressure period. Anyway you'll find out tomorrow.

Bolton will be opened up for the Xmas period as this is where they are sorting all the packets and parcels using it as a hub!

What will happen next Christmas, when the site is sold off ?

they are doing the same in Liverpool apparently, the machines are being kept in "just in case" tho they haven't reactivated the site.
