BURY woman Julie Edmondson has taken up an appointment as manager of the Bolton branch of Linda Taylor Associates, Recruitment and training Consultants.

Linda and Julie first worked together in 1981, employed as trainers and customer service advisers in the computer industry.

Following redundancy, they both got together again in 1991 to set up a sister company to Linda Taylor Associates, specialising in IT training and consultancy.

These companies have now merged. Julie has taken on the busy role of managing both the recruitment business in Bolton and the training arm of the partnership.
