The area around Wivenhoe.
Wivenhoe is a riverside town on the Colne estuary near Colchester, with an old quay of boatbuilders' cottages and a big neighbour in the University of Essex. It combines an older, arty population with academics, students and commuters. Customers expect good design and credible businesses, and trades find work in period quayside homes, so naming Rowhedge and the villages across the Colne helps reach the wider area.
Colchester (3 miles) and West Mersea (6 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in Essex, Brightlingsea (4 miles), Manningtree (8 miles), Clacton-on-Sea (10 miles) and Coggeshall (12 miles) are within reach. A longer drive takes in Hadleigh (13 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Wivenhoe itself, we build for businesses in Rowhedge, Elmstead Market, Alresford, Wivenhoe Cross and Fingringhoe.
Wivenhoe (postcode area CO) sits about 209 miles north-east of Exeter.
