Invest in Rossendale first was launched in 2018, with businessman and former Dragon’s Den Dragon, Piers Linney, as keynote speaker at the launch event.

Rossendale cherishes its history and culture. There are traditional community groups, museums and symbols giving a nod to its past throughout the Valley, famous for shoe making, textiles and quarrying. Whilst the past remains at the heart of Rossendale, it is continually evolving, keeping current and ahead of times. New developments have complimented and enhanced the existing industries, historic mill towns and environment and there are plans for further expansion in the pipeline. This pastiche of old and new provides the perfect rural setting with the best of city living at truly affordable prices.

From Whitworth to Rising Bridge, Crawshawbooth to Edenfield, Rossendale has a reputation for attracting a portfolio of world class companies like JJO, Orthoplastics and Holland’s Pies, as well as boutique brands such as Deni-Deni and Sunday Best. Competitively- priced employment sites and retail units bursting with charm, easy access to a range of council support, developed to help you get off the ground or contribute to your growth, excellent relationships to the wider Lancashire and North West business landscape and of course the location, Rossendale will help your business flourish.
