The area around Oldham.
Oldham was one of the great cotton-spinning towns and still has its mill skyline, set against the Pennine hills that lead up to Saddleworth. The borough ranges from dense terraced streets near the centre to rural villages on the moor edge, which means trade work differs widely across short distances. Local search tends to follow the borough's separate towns - Chadderton, Royton, Shaw - so a business that names the places it covers will be found more reliably than one that simply says Greater Manchester.
Just over the council boundary, Mossley (3 miles), Middleton (3 miles), Ashton-under-Lyne (4 miles) and Dukinfield (5 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Within Oldham itself, we build for businesses in Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Failsworth, Lees, Werneth, Hollinwood and Saddleworth.
Oldham addresses fall in the OL postcode area, about 204 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
