West Midlands Shropshire: A Place to Grow, Invest, and Thrive
Riverside Development
Shropshire is redefining what it means to be a rural economy. With a rich industrial heritage and a forward-looking business culture, the county is fast becoming a popular destination for entrepreneurs, SMEs, and investors seeking a dynamic, well-connected, and sup- portive environment. From major regeneration projects to hands-on business support, Shropshire is building a future where innovation meets opportunity.
Laying the Foundations for Growth
Shropshire has already made significant strides in transforming its economic landscape. Invest in Shropshire, alongside the Shropshire Growth Hub has become a cornerstone of business support in the county, offering free expert advice, mentoring, events, and funding guidance to help local businesses start, grow, and thrive. Through initiatives, events and working with its partners, hundreds of SMEs have benefitted from tailored support in areas ranging from mar- keting and HR to sustainability and digital innovation.
Meanwhile, strategic regeneration projects are reshaping the coun- ty’s physical and economic infrastructure. The Benthall Grange development at the former Ironbridge Power Station is the largest single redevelopment site in Shropshire, with plans for 1,000 homes, a retirement village, commercial space, and leisure facilities. This mixed-use site will bring new life to a historic location, creating jobs and attracting inward investment.
Building Vibrant, Sustainable Communities
Right now, Shropshire Council is leading the transformation of Shrewsbury’s town centre through the Smithfield Riverside project. This 4-hectare brownfield site is being redeveloped into a vibrant riverside quarter featuring Grade A office space, modern homes, retail, leisure, and a new linear park. Supported by government fund- ing, the project is aligned with Shrewsbury’s Big Town Plan and will deliver a zero-carbon, design-led destination that reflects the county’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Invest in Shropshire supports businesses with access to fund- ing, including start-up loans, capital grants, and energy efficiency schemes. Whether you’re launching a new venture or scaling up, Shropshire offers the resources and networks to help you succeed.
