Crewe and the surrounding areas used to depend heavily on the Engineering Industry for thousands and thousands of jobs. There was a time just some 30 or 40 years ago that most male school leavers would walk straight into an engineering apprenticeship. British Rail Engineering used to build and repair locomotives and employed thousands. Rolls Royce cars (now moved to Derby), Bentley cars (still active) and Vickers Turbine Blades for aircraft (now closed) were all on the same site providing thousands of jobs. ERF (closed down)and Foden (closed down)manufactured and repaired trucks in Sandbach. Rollermakers (bought out and now closed down) manufactured industrial metal rolls. These companies each employed hundreds of people. Then there are of course the local support businesses that would provide products and additional services to these companies, also called the supply chain. It is a huge shame that so many skilled jobs have either been moved overseas or simply lost, yet Crewe and the local areas have adapted and moved on. Crewe was one of the first towns in the country to construct an environmentally friendly business park which incorporates some excellent walking areas along a stream, through woods and nature trails as well as some very smart office buildings. Despite the recession, many of the office buildings on this business park are occupied by some of our nation's most prestigious brands. Many Blue Chip' companies have chosen Crewe as their distribution and storage base, primarily because of the excellent road and rail links. Crewe is 6 miles from the M6 and has a Grand Junction railway station. The chances are good that if you travel by train on a long journey you will pass through or change at Crewe!

The internet, while seemingly all but ubiquitous, is still growing just as vigorously as it has been for the past 15 years or so. This means more opportunity to take advantage of a still burgeoning new market place.

One particular segment of the population has been taking to this business environment: college students.
