Samuel Greg built the mill in Styal because of its access to water power from the River Bollin, which was essential for operating the mill machinery. The location also provided a local workforce from nearby villages, as well as access to transport routes for exporting goods. Additionally, building the mill in Styal allowed Greg to take advantage of the growing demand for cotton textiles during the Industrial Revolution.

because he was nice+happy+ he wasnt mean.
Samuel Greg treated his workers very well. He built them a house to live in known as the Apprentice House. They were clothed, fed, educated and taken care of. Unlike most factory or mill owners during the Industrial Revolution, Samuel cared for his workers and felt if they were taken care of, they would work harder, meaning his business would thrive, being of a benefit to both him and his workers.
