Inspiring the future at Stockport Exchange

Stockport’s entrepreneurs of the future had the chance to be inspired when they visited Stockport’s newest business district.

The youngsters joined companies who have made Stockport Exchange their home to find out more about the jobs being created here in their town.

Local primary school pupils met representatives from musicMagpie, Stagecoach, Holiday Inn Express, Sainsburys and Cafelito to learn more about their businesses, the jobs they have brought to Stockport Exchange and what they look for in future employees.

“As developments like Stockport Exchange open they bring with them many new opportunities and jobs that we want everyone in our town to be able to benefit from, whether now or in the years to come. Regeneration in Stockport continues at pace with further development of our new commercial quarter given the green light and the council’s commitment to further investment.”
