Location
Aspirational, accessible, diverse and welcoming, Stockport stretches from the
borders of the Peak District and Cheshire plains to cosmopolitan Manchester.
Stockport is a place of contrasts, and offers a sense of balance and variety
that is virtually unique. It is a friendly, successful and fascinating place to
live – and do business.
Offering an exceptional workforce, prime location, wonderful
countryside, excellent education and health facilities, the
quality of life is sought after by many.
•
•
•
•
•
•
At the heart of South Manchester
A strong identity and entrepreneurial spirit
Major development programmes
45% greenbelt land yet on the doorstep of cosmopolitan centres
Surrounded by world class higher education facilities
Strategic location offering excellent access to regional, national and
international markets
• A robust and flourishing economy
• Excellent quality of living
Stockport provides the ideal environment for businesses
looking for attractive opportunities, established
support and the raw talent to make their
company a success.
One key attraction to the area has been the
strength of the economy. Stockport
Council and its partners have overseen
the creation of 1,200 new jobs and
safeguarded a further 1,000 in
the past 18 months alone.
This has led to higher than
average economic activity rates
for both men and women, both
above the regional and national
averages, allowing Stockport to
support high levels of
employment.
Competitive business costs make Stockport an
increasingly attractive option with staff costs
falling below regional and national levels.
An established range of business support and networking groups are also available in
Stockport to enable those investing in the area to maximise local business opportunities.
In short, Stockport’s economy and range of benefits associated with the area have helped
to make it increasingly favourable for businesses and entrepreneurs alike.

Key Facts
In 2005, Stockport Council launched the ‘Future Stockport’ Town Centre Masterplan, an
ambitious 10-15 year vision for the town centre. It concentrates on the transformation of
the town centre’s retail core, which sits at the heart of the area. The masterplan seeks
to unlock Stockport’s huge potential as a dynamic business, retail, leisure and residential
location through a major redevelopment programme which will see the investment of
approximately £500 million.
Key features of the Masterplan include:
• A shopping and leisure experience to match 21st century
lifestyles
• City-style living for 3,000 people – a new community of
more than 1,000 homes
• An ultra-modern transport interchange with improved links
between the bus and rail station and accommodating
Metrolink in the future
• High quality public spaces – including a new town ‘plaza’
at Mersey Square and a tree-lined St Peter’s Square
• A celebration of the source of the River Mersey
