The most productive cotton spinning mill town in the world at its zenith, producing more cotton than France and Germany combined.
ONS's March 2026 business count counted 7,745 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, re-established in 2025 after the original 2004 entity entered administration, represents and supports small businesses across Greater Manchester.

About Social Media Content
Social Media Content is our monthly service for owners who would rather run their business than stare at an empty caption box. We think of the ideas, write the words and design the graphics, then send every batch to you for approval before anything goes out.
How it works, start to finish
Step 1: Brand session
A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.
Step 2: Research
We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.
Step 3: Monthly batch
We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.
Step 4: Your approval
You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.
Step 5: Scheduling and publishing
Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
