The area around Ely.
Ely is a small cathedral city rising out of the Fens, with a riverside, a steady visitor trade and a growing commuter population heading to Cambridge. House prices lower than Cambridge have brought new estates and young families. Customers here are often comparing against Cambridge firms, so a local business that is quick to respond and clearly covers Ely and the fenland villages around it has an easy advantage to press.
