Rawtenstall is the principal town of the Rossendale Valley, a narrow post-industrial valley running south-west from Bacup through to Ramsbottom in Greater Manchester. The valley has a pronounced textile and manufacturing heritage — its mills once produced slipper and footwear products that gave Rossendale a national reputation — and while heavy manufacturing has largely gone, the industrial character of the valley persists in its converted mill buildings and workshop units. The East Lancashire Railway runs a heritage steam railway from Rawtenstall to Heywood, which draws visitors from across the region.
The business community in Rawtenstall and Rossendale spans retail in the town centre, light manufacturing and trade businesses in workshop units, professional services, and a growing number of independent businesses serving the valley's population. Whitaker Park provides a museum and arts facility that adds cultural anchoring to the local offer. Connectivity in the valley has historically been variable given the topography, but full-fibre infrastructure improvements are progressing and businesses now have better options than they did five years ago.
River Technologies serves Rawtenstall from Leyland, approximately 18 miles to the west. We provide VoIP phone systems, business broadband, and mobile services to Rossendale businesses. For firms in the valley that have been running on legacy phone systems or suboptimal broadband, we can assess what is genuinely available to your premises and design a package accordingly. We do not oversell capabilities that the local infrastructure cannot deliver — we tell you what is available and help you get the best from it.
