The numbers

There are 56.3 businesses for every 1,000 people in South Hams, compared with 39.3 across Great Britain, which places it 25th of 350 council areas by business density.

Around Salcombe.

Salcombe is a sailing town at the mouth of the Kingsbridge estuary, famous for its sheltered harbour, sandy coves and some of the most expensive seaside property in the country. A large share of homes are second homes and holiday lets, so the population swells in summer and thins out in winter. Trades serve absentee owners who need reliable updates and photographic evidence, while hospitality depends on visitors, so a strong, mobile-friendly site is essential here.

The nearest towns in the same council area are Kingsbridge (3 miles), Dartmouth (11 miles), Ivybridge (12 miles) and Totnes (14 miles). Elsewhere in Devon, Buckfastleigh (17 miles) is within reach. A longer drive takes in Brixham (15 miles), Paignton (16 miles) and Plymouth (19 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

Within Salcombe itself, we build for businesses in Batson, East Portlemouth, Malborough, Hope Cove and Thurlestone.

Salcombe addresses fall in the TQ postcode area, about 35 miles south of Exeter, where we are based.

Questions

Questions from Salcombe businesses

Is Salcombe too far away for you?
No. Salcombe is about 35 miles south of Exeter, and distance makes no difference to how we work: calls, WhatsApp and a link to your design on your phone. You see and approve the design before anything goes live, with two rounds of changes included.
Are there business figures for Salcombe on its own?
No. The ONS publishes business counts by council area, and Salcombe is part of South Hams, which it shares with Totnes, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and others. The figures on this page are for the whole council area.
