The numbers

There are 47.3 businesses for every 1,000 people in Shropshire, compared with 39.3 across Great Britain, which places it 66th of 350 council areas by business density.

Two kinds of business stand out against the UK average: veterinary practices, at 2.6 times the national share, and pubs and bars, at 1.8 times.

By count, the largest group is management consultancies, with about 615 businesses. At the other end, specialised design businesses, including interior designers, are scarcer than usual: about half the UK share.

Around Ludlow.

Ludlow is one of England's finest small historic towns, with a castle, a medieval street plan and hundreds of listed timber-framed and Georgian buildings. It has a strong reputation for food, with markets and festivals drawing visitors from far afield, and a large farming hinterland across south Shropshire. Hospitality businesses need clear booking and opening information for visitors, while trades working on listed properties should say so plainly, since owners here specifically seek people who understand conservation work.

Craven Arms (7 miles), Cleobury Mortimer (10 miles), Church Stretton (12 miles) and Bishop's Castle (15 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Tenbury Wells (7 miles) and Leominster (10 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Presteigne (14 miles) and Knighton (14 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

Inside Ludlow, the site can name areas such as Ludford, Bromfield, Rocks Green, Richards Castle, Onibury and Ashford Carbonell.

Ludlow addresses fall in the SY postcode area, about 119 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.

Questions

Questions from Ludlow businesses

Is Ludlow too far away for you?
No. Ludlow is about 119 miles north of Exeter, and distance makes no difference to how we work: calls, WhatsApp and a link to your design on your phone. You check the design on your phone and sign it off before launch; two rounds of changes are part of the price.
Are there business figures for Ludlow on its own?
No. The ONS publishes business counts by council area, and Ludlow is part of Shropshire, which it shares with Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Bridgnorth and others. The figures on this page are for the whole council area.
How far is Ludlow from you?
About 119 miles as the crow flies: Ludlow is north of Exeter, in the SY postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
Can the site cover places near Ludlow too?
Yes. A site for a Ludlow business can name Tenbury Wells, Craven Arms, Leominster and Cleobury Mortimer or any other places you work, and we build for businesses in all of them.
