SOCCER legend Sir Bobby Charlton kicked off a £3 million investment at a Great Harwood firm.
Sir Bobby was guest of honour at carton factory Boxes Ltd which has just installed a new six-colour Roland printing press - the only one of its kind in the country.
"The significant investment in technology is designed to strengthen our position as one of the country's leading manufacturers of printed cartons, labels and leaflets," said Boxes Group chief executive Mr F Yalkin Tanyar.
The Great Harwood factory was set up in 1987 with just two employees and now has a workforce of 134.
