Construction firms in Rochdale are now welcome to join the Oldham & Rochdale Construction sector Group. The Oldham and Rochdale Construction Sector networking events have been developed and led by the private sector, with support from the Chamber, Oldham Council and Rochdale Metropolitan Council, to help businesses in Oldham and Rochdale benefit from construction opportunities in their areas.
