Industry & Employment

Wem is an important employment centre and the District Council considers the town to be an appropriate location for new and commercial development. The employment policy of the North Shropshire Local Plan therefore encourages development on two sites within the town. Existing industrial development is situated at:

Wem Business Park - this site, close to the town
centre is the former Wem Brewery and now houses
light industrial workshops and offices.Units available on flexible terms. Rents on application.Land for new light industrial units is also available.

Wem Industrial Estate - this former military site is
now an established industrial area. It is located
to the north east of the town. Opportunities exist
for the development of further units approx 15 acres.
Units available on flexible terms. Rents on application.
