    Based on the date of this article (2008), I believe the answer to their current showroom is either 2001 or 2003

    Hi and thanks for your answers

    I believe the answer to this question -

    What Bolton village was Scan founded in back in 1987?

    should be Wethoughton.

    They where on Wingates Industrial Estate, Westhoughton for a number of years before they moved to The Enterprise Park, Middlebrook, Horwich.

    I can't find the date they moved though

    That makes no sense. They definitely moved in 2008, several articles feature it. They didn't wait years to feature it. Nothing about them moving again since, and why would they, given they just moved?
    The only logical answer is that none of those answers is right, possibly 2003 should be 2008 though?

    Unless the articles in 2008 refer to just the opening of the new showroom, and they moved to the business park prior to that. i.e. they moved within the business park having already set up shop there prior to 2008.

    I agree though, if its not 2008, then finding any information about it seems nigh impossible, you'd have thought we'd have been able to search for the info.
