Houldsworth project blog

A new recruit to Houldsworth Village is Broadstone Business Generator.

The company is a specialist telemarketing campaign centre housed at Broadstone Mill. The company works with businesses to help you decide whether to outsource your telemarketing , and then to offer the appropriate solution once agreed.

Outsourcing can save you valuable time, money and resources as the expense of hiring, training and maintaining a team of in-house telemarketers is eliminated. Campaigns can also be used only when needed.

Equipment, technology and office space costs are also eradicated. The risk is you are placing the reputation of your business in the hands of the outsourcer.

It is critical to the success of any campaign and naturally your reputation that the outsourcer understands your business as if it were their own. They have to be a part of your own team.

At bbg, we want to represent you in such a way that your customers are delighted with the service and of course at the same time enhancing your reputation. We also have a desire to create quality employment for local people. So a major drive of ours is that as we grow we will help to recruit, train and empower our teams to provide the best quality service and treat your brand with the utmost care and respect. We want our people to become your people of choice.

Why Outsource?

Outsourcing enables companies to focus on what they do best and leave other specialists (the ‘Outsourcers’) to provide them with the benefit of their skills, knowledge and expertise, taking away tasks which might otherwise prove to be at best a distraction and too often fail to deliver the results required .

Allow Broadstone Business Generator to offer the expertise necessary and deliver the agreed results that your campaign deserves.

Revive. Revolve. Relove 20th May: 6pm

Thursday 20th May from 6pm: FREE ADMISSION

“Everyday discarded objects, brought back to life by creating aesthetic pieces.”

We're excited to announce our latest exhibition opening of Revive. Revolve. Relove. All the pieces will have been made wholly or partially from recycled materials. Whether it's an old jumper that has been transformed into a bag, or a tyre that has been turned into garden furniture, you're sure to be dazzled by the creative flare of our internal and external creatives.

This event ties in with everything that Stockport is aiming for currently: recycling, sustainability, and creative businesses using resources already available. There'll also be jewellery-making workshops using jigsaw pieces from puzzles with pieces missing. A good few of our resident artists and creative types already make new things from old, so this exhibition really showcases the possibilities to get people thinking about how to re-use what might have otherwise been discarded and ended up as landfill.

Revive your palate with a glass of wine and tapas, freshly prepared by chef Jim Slack, of Chancellor’s Hotel, Fallowfield.

It's that time of the month again...

Well ladies and gents, it’s that time of the month again. Yes, it’s time for Craft & Vintage Sunday. Teamed with Village Vintage, Broadstone Mill will be bringing you all the finest arts, crafts, vintage clothing and spectacular jewellery.

With approximately 20 crafters and vintage stockists, you are sure to find some secret treasure hidden away on our Upper Ground floor. If the proverbial April showers hold off we will have a gazebo outside on our grassy area with some lovely stalls to get you in the mood for the summer months.

Resident jewellery maker Anita Mistry will be in her unit getting up to her usual crafting fun. Anita runs a range of workshops in her unit where she teaches people of all skill levels how to make beautiful beaded jewellery. If you want to find out more them pop along on Sunday, or you can find her contact details here.

Two of our newest tenants Sarah and Lucy, aka Fikle and Small Frie will be bobbing about in their unit making their jewellery, cards and clothes. Each of the pieces they design are delightfully unique as each item is made from recycled materials. To read a little more about Fikle and Small Frie then click here.

Finally, our most recent and quirky display has to be in the form of MythCast’s fantasy and gothic art. MythCast offers concept, design and production of exceptionally well-sculptured and cast figures, ranging from mythical creatures to impeccable games pieces. To find out more about these fantasy pieces visit the MythCast website or come have a look at them on the Upper ground floor on Sunday.

We hope to see you all on Sunday! Take a look here for directions.

Discount Delight

So, our 2-day discount event last weekend in Broadstone Mill Shopping Outlet was a roaring success. With approximately 2000 visitors stepping through our doors throughout the event, shoppers were welcomed with friendly staff, discounts galore and tasty food from our new coffee shop.

As a lover of a good bargain I was overjoyed when I spotted an AX Paris dress (yes the same brand that is in New Look stores) at 25% off! I finally managed to walk away from the event before my debit card got a beating from 3 Fiorelli bags.

One lucky person who came to the event will be receiving an Easter treat in the form of £200 worth of vouchers to spend in store on selected brands. With spring well on its way, this will hopefully give the winner something else to smile about. For those of you who did not enter this competition, unfortunately the draw has closed, however, join our mailing list and be notified when the next competition is running. You’ll also receive events news and exclusive discounts to mailing list customers only! Similarly recommend a friend and receive a 10% discount voucher to spend in store when your friend joins.
