You may have gathered that at Spencer Harvey, we are big fans of Stockport. We think the town has plenty to offer and we are always delighted to see other people sharing this viewpoint. There is a growing consensus that Stockport is one of the leading business locations in the North West. By itself, Stockport may not be a Northern Powerhouse but the town definitely has a big part to play in the growth of Greater Manchester.
Some of the reasons Stockport is on the up include:
- A hard-working and intelligent workforce
- A high standard of transport options
- An educational platform that produces talent and is welcoming for parents looking for a good area to bring up their family
- An environment that allows businesses of all sizes and at all stages in a life cycle to flourish
The Stockport Economic Alliance can offer data that indicates the area has scored better than other local regional and national figures. You may think that the Alliance may have an agenda to push but given that this opinion is backed up with facts, it is fair to say that Stockport has plenty to offer.
Stockport plays host to many business sectors
The fact that there is a very diverse range of industries operating in Stockport is of benefit. Yes, some areas flourish when a sector sets up home but if an area is wholly reliant on one type of business, there is a greater level of risk involved. With Stockport playing host to major firms in the construction, science, ICT, arts, administrative and recreation/entertainment sectors, this is an area with plenty of industries experiencing strong growth. While it is good to see these sectors doing so well, it is just as pleasing to see that the local council and business professionals are looking to further expand the talent in the town. There are plans to create opportunities for high-growth businesses and entrepreneurs, which is great news for everyone in the community.
The Stockport Exchange commercial scheme, which is located beside the train station, will play host to 300,000 square feet of office space, and overall, great strides have been made in the £1bn regeneration plan.
