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
