Today marks the first day of our annual Summer School for this year in Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton!

In the afternoon, the students were welcomed into the fantastic offices at ๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ. The students took part in a talk with their deputy director, a tour of the offices and showrooms and students were able to participate in a Dragonโs Den style task whereby the students had to create a strategy to market a new product.
This was a great opportunity for the students to learn about Ultimate Products which is a successful local business that has been present in Oldham for over two decades. The location of their offices being Manor Mill is also an example of how we can modernise our mills and protect our heritage in Oldham.
Thank you to the team at Ultimate Products for hosting today and for some great insight and knowledge of a local business based in Oldham which has grown into an international brand.
