Christy, the multi-million pound company best known as the supplier of towels to Wimbledon, is moving its HQ from Hyde to Cheadle.
Fifty staff will move to the Park Square office development on Bird Hall Lane.
It’s great to see another international business choosing to base itself locally. Under the Lib Dems, Stockport Council has done a huge amount of work to help and encourage businesses to come to our area. That’s one of the reasons why unemployment locally is so much lower than the national average.
The full story is on the MEN website.

Suspect their move be in spite of the LibDem ‘run’ council !
I have used Christy for years – in Hyde. There is a very simple reason for their move – they no longer manufacture in the UK. All they production is now in India, I believe. The quality seems to have suffered as a consequence. They have a huge site in Hyde, which they have gradually sold off for housing. The last bits have now gone – as has the “old” Christy, alas.
