Goyt Mill has approximately 83 businesses operating out of it, including many who are quietly making Marple a better place to live, for example:
RopeRace Climbing/Canoeing/Archery Centre, XXL Fitness Centre, (weights, zumba, karate) Scalextric slot racing, Rough n Tumble soft play, PSE Professional Sound Europe (Loud Speakers), Nitrotek (remote controlled toys importer) Abyss Scuba Diving Centre, Heirloom Beds (beautiful solid wood furniture) Cane Direct, (Cane Furniture), Carpet Outlet, Uniquely Chic (restored and painted furniture) Artstop Photo Studio, The Doo Lally Tappers (elderly keep fit through tap dance), V.I.P Taxi Service, Coley's Kitchen (butty van) there is a new Furniture Showroom opening as well, amongst others.
FYI: The mill is being advertised for sale, because the 5 year Embargo preventing the sale for residential use has only 2 years left to run. After that a buyer (probably a conglomerate) could purchase it and turn it into Lofts (i.e Bollington). The building would have to be gutted floor by floor to remove the asbestos and oil soaked wood floors.
That is probably why the expenditure on the upkeep is being kept to a minimum and maintenance is colossal.
It will be sad to see all these thriving businesses lose their homes, a community of Goyt Mill users and occupiers will be dispersed.
