Oldham and Manchester are easy to travel to but there are lots of career opportunities right on your doorstep when you live in Werneth.

Household names such as Ferranti, Mirror Group Newspapers, Fulfillment Logistics, Littlewoods, Slumberland, Molnlycke, Northern Foods and Zetex Plc all employ large numbers of people close by.

In the next few years, thousands of jobs are set to be created within an easy commute of Werneth such as 10,000 new jobs forecast for Manchester City Centre and 7,000 generated at Kingsway Business Park (off junction 21 of the M62, www.kingswayuk.com). These will be even easier to reach when the Metrolink arrives in Werneth in 2012.

Plans are well underway to develop high quality office space at Hollinwood Business District (next to junction 22 of the M60), Chadderton Technology Park, a new satellite business park at Greengate, Chadderton, and to complete more business premises at Oldham Broadway Business Park.
