Why Stockport?


Location, location, location ... 

Home to over 70 multinational firms, Stockport is the fastest growing and third largest employment centre in the Greater Manchester area. 

Stockport borough has an economically active population of 143,000 and access to around 1.2 million people within the Manchester travel-to-work area.

The total population of 285,000 is the most affluent in Greater Manchester and the town centre attracts over 220,000 shoppers each week to its hundred-plus stores and specialist shops.

Stockport was recently classified by retailers as the second most sought after location in the whole of Greater Manchester (Property Week).

Transport links are excellent, with the M60 orbital motorway passing through the centre of town, and Manchester International Airport is only 15 minutes away. Plans are in place to extend the Manchester Metrolink into the centre of Stockport by 2005.

People are probably Stockport's greatest asset. The borough is one of the best sources of administrative staff in the North West, providing a pool of highly educated, well-trained and adaptable staff. Nearby Manchester boasts the largest University Campus in Europe, and is an excellent source of multi-lingual skills. 

For all these and many other reasons, Stockport represents the perfect location for any business seeking to set up or relocate in the North West of England. Click here for location Map
