A Strategic Vision for Bolton Priory

In 2023/2024, Bolton Priory commissioned emeritus Professor Paul Hare to write an independent report on Bolton Priory with a view to devising a strategy for the Priory for the next five years.  Paul Hare was eminently qualified for the task having been Professor of Economics at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, UK) since 1985 and having established the Centre for Economic Reform and Transformation in 1990 which rapidly became a leading centre for research on the transition economies. Professor Hare has had many consultancy contracts, including with all the leading international financial institutions, and has published widely on transition and other topics. All members of the parish were invited to take part in the consultation and many took the opportunity to do which helped devise the overall strategy for Bolton Priory going forward.
