Business in Oldham

Oldham was the cotton spinning capital and the mills that remain are now industrial units, storage and workspace. What the town runs on today is a mix of light manufacturing, food production, a large public sector and health presence, and a substantial retail and wholesale trade serving a young and diverse population. It sits on the Metrolink line into Manchester, which has pulled in commuters and small professional practices. As in Rochdale and Bradford, the mill fabric is the recurring technical constraint.

Sectors we work with around Oldham

Oldham — common questions

Our Oldham unit is in a mill with poor signal and old wiring. Which do we fix first?

Establish which is actually causing the problem, because they present identically and the fixes are different. Old internal wiring limits what the building can carry regardless of the connection into it; stone walls limit wireless regardless of the wiring. A survey separates them in an afternoon and stops money going into the wrong one.

We are a charity operating from Oldham with tight budgets. What is worth paying for?

A phone system that does not need hardware maintained, and a connection sized honestly rather than generously. Charities frequently pay for capacity bought for a busier period years ago. Beyond that, the group buying position means a small organisation prices inside a national account, which is usually where the saving actually comes from rather than from buying less.
