Testimonials

 “The hi-tech office space and facilities at Broadstone Mill really helped to get our business off the ground and we look forward to making further use of the business support network that is available.”

Tony Cameron, Head of Sales, I-Pix. Designing and building innovative, versatile and bright LED lighting fixtures for the entertainment and architectural industry

“It is hard getting any business off the ground but because I’m saving thousands of pounds every year by not commuting this means more funds can go into selling my work.  All the other units are occupied by like-minded creative people, which makes a fantastic working environment.  There is a real community spirit where we can bounce ideas off each other.”

Darren Holden – Photographic studio tenant & Victoria Mill resident

“Any start-up, and especially a technology start-up, needs all the support it can in its early years and, with the support of UMIP and UMIC, Plasma Clean is looking forward to making a massive impact in air pollution control over the coming years.  Broadstone Mill has provided us with a flexible environment for us to grow our business.”

David Glover, MD, Plasma Clean. Providing technology-based air purification systems and based in the Stockport Business Incubator at Broadstone Mill

 “With the huge demand for space in the University Medical School and the pressure to reduce staff numbers regrettably the decision was taken to close the Medical School Workshop in 2007. But this decision gave us a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity for existing staff to team up and form Stopford Workshop Ltd.  We raised funds to buy the contents of the workshop and transfer the assets to Broadstone Mill, preserving the experience skills and technical capability of the medical school workshop team. This achievement was only made possible by considerable support from Stockport Council, UMIC and the university administration.”
