The firm's chairman, Mr Colin Mustoe MBE, has confirmed that major improvements requiring substantial investment will begin almost immediately and no redundancies are anticipated.

Mytton Fold, which is perfectly situated in six acres of land in Whalley Road, is part of the Best Western Chain. It boasts 43 rooms, a 65-covers restaurant, bar and lounge. The award-winning establishment was run for over 30 years by the Hargreaves family. Lilian Hargreaves came to Langho in 1964 with her late husband, Frank, to oversee the development of Mytton Fold Farm Hotel in the heart of the village. The couple grew the business from a family farm to a popular hotel and leisure complex. It ran into financial difficulties last year and was placed into administration.
