Shropshire

Around Market Drayton.

Market Drayton calls itself the home of gingerbread and is a traditional north Shropshire market town on the Shropshire Union Canal, surrounded by dairy country. Food manufacturing is a major employer and farming shapes much of the local economy. Customers include farms and rural homes spread across a wide area, so a business should make its coverage of the villages explicit. Canal boaters passing through also give some trades and services a seasonal visitor trade worth catering for.

Inside Shropshire, the closest places are Whitchurch (10 miles) and Wem (11 miles). Just over the council boundary, Madeley (9 miles) is close by. Further out, Eccleshall (10 miles), Nantwich (11 miles), Newcastle-under-Lyme (13 miles) and Crewe (13 miles) are within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Inside Market Drayton, the site can name areas such as Little Drayton, Tern Hill, Hodnet, Woore, Adderley, Cheswardine and Hinstock.

Market Drayton addresses fall in the TF postcode area, about 157 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.

Questions

Questions from Market Drayton businesses

Is Market Drayton too far away for you?
No. Market Drayton is about 157 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 Market Drayton on its own?
Not from the ONS, which counts businesses for Shropshire as a whole. Market Drayton is one of 14 towns on this site in that council area, so the numbers above are shared with places like Shrewsbury and Ludlow.
