Saddleworth
Fish.Net is a Saddleworth based company, providing
a variety of Internet and Information Technology
assistance. Our offices are situated in the picturesque
village of Delph in Saddleworth, only 30 minutes
from Manchester and Leeds, and 15 minutes away from
major motorway routes, enabling us to work in lovely
surroundings whilst easily being accessible to our
clients.
Saddleworth has a strong business tradition - although
a rural area it is part of the industrial countryside,
rather than the agricultural. The original cottage
industry of home-based handloom weavers developed
into the huge cotton and woollen mill factories
which at their peak employed the majority of the
population.
Most of the mills are now closed, and the area
has seen many changes. Despite improved communications
however, Saddleworth is still self-contained and
retains many small local services, businesses and
retailers whose friendliness and personal service
is regarded as one of the benefits of living here.
The tourism industry has driven the growth of successful
businesses in the area too.
But Saddleworth is also part of the latest industrial
revolution. New, high technology businesses are
also thriving here, located in homes or business
centres, some created from old mill sites. Their
market place is not only local, but national or
international via e-commerce.
Fish.Net designed and now maintain the Saddleworth.org
website. Click on the link below to discover more
