A VISION OF THE FUTURE
The UK’s most accessible large scale and flexible employment opportunity
Northern Gateway is a world-leading multi-sector employment campus that has the potential to deliver far-reaching benefits way beyond its boundaries and redefine growth and employment across the North for the 21st century.
The site benefits from an allocation. As the largest site within Atom Valley, Greater Manchester’s Mayoral Development Zone, spreading across the boroughs of Rochdale and Bury, Northern Gateway will support a wide variety of different sectors and industries, providing flexibility and resilience on a scale that no other employment zone can offer.
It will create aspirational employment opportunities through highquality future jobs accessed by a growing workforce, supporting communities and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
Northern Gateway is about delivering an ambition: to create the most accessible and dynamic employment opportunity for the north.
