A great place to live
How can ambitious businesses attract and retain top talent in a market where skills will always be at a premium?
A key factor will always be the quality of life they can offer their workforce, current and future – and Shropshire has this in abundance.
Part of the west midlands
Part of the West Midlands, Shropshire is set on the border with Wales, bounded by Cheshire to the North and Herefordshire to the South: an area rich in natural beauty, studded with bustling, attractive market towns and picturesque villages.
Enjoy a range of pursuits and interests…
Steeped in history and geologically unique, Shropshire provides a range of pursuits and interests for all ages.
With its fresh country air and stunning scenery the great outdoors in Shropshire offers up extensive walking, running, cycling and horse-riding routes but also extreme sports like hand-gliding and flying.
…And if you are seeking more leisurely activities…
Shropshire has something for everyone. If extreme sports or the outdoor life is not for you and you seek more leisurely pastimes, there is still plenty to enjoy.
Shropshire can offer historic canals, and an abundance of beautiful gardens, medieval castles, quaint hamlets, distinctive shops, fine restaurants and great country pubs to discover.
A place of outstanding beauty…
A quarter of Shropshire’s area has been designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty, yet this is also the County that kick-started the industrial revolution.

But also the birthplace of the industrial revolution…
Ironbridge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Shropshire is home to the world’s first skyscraper. Ditherington Flax Mill, the world’s first multi-storey iron-framed building – and therefore the forerunner of every skyscraper and tower block in the world.
Why Shropshire?
“Shropshire is a fantastic place to do business. From independent small businesses, to unique retailers and bespoke sole traders there’s plenty of reasons to visit, stay and collaborate with our vibrant business community!”
