Make your business home in Shropshire

Right at the heart of the UK

For anyone looking to start a business in the UK, Shropshire has it all: a skilled and talented workforce to harness; ready access to the West Midlands; access to airports and ports; sensible business costs; a fantastic quality of life, and business sites ready to move into.

“Müller has been at the heart of Shropshire’s food and drink sector since it opened its first plant outside of Germany, in Market Drayton, in 1992.

Our entrepreneurial and dedicated workforce, and connections with the community, have been key in helping us become one of Britain’s biggest brands. With sites at Market Drayton, Telford and Minsterley, we are really proud to call Shropshire home.”

Jan Wegenaar, Operations Director at Müller Yogurt & Desserts
