> Melton Mowbray calls itself the Rural Capital of Food, and its pork pie makers, bakers and online food shops need websites and checkouts that work. dijitul supports them remotely from Mansfield, quoting upfront for anything on site. Plans cost from £25 a month + VAT, and ad-hoc help is £45 an hour + VAT.

Melton Mowbray calls itself the Rural Capital of Food, and with good reason. The town is home of the Melton Mowbray pork pie, which has Protected Geographical Indication status, and it sits in the area where Stilton cheese is made, with dairies such as Long Clawson nearby. Food businesses of every size, from artisan bakers and butchers to large manufacturers, are central to the local economy.

Pet food is a major industry too. Mars Petcare has a large factory in Melton Mowbray, and its Waltham Petcare Science Institute is in the nearby village of Waltham on the Wolds. The Defence Animal Centre, which trains military dogs and horses, is also based in the town. Melton's livestock market is one of the busiest in the region, and the surrounding Leicestershire countryside is dominated by farming, country estates and equestrian businesses.

Melton Borough Council is based in the town, and the market place and town centre are lined with independent food shops, cafés, pubs and services. Annual food festivals and the weekly markets bring visitors in, supporting hospitality businesses.

For IT and website support, food and drink businesses have some specific needs. Producers selling online need e-commerce sites that handle chilled delivery dates, delivery zones, gift orders and seasonal peaks around Christmas. Food manufacturers need reliable networks, label printers, backups and the cyber security controls that large retail customers increasingly require. Farms, equestrian yards and rural businesses often have limited broadband, so cloud Microsoft 365, extended Wi-Fi and a backup connection are useful. Shops, cafés and pubs need card payments, booking systems and Google Business Profile listings that are always accurate.

We support Melton Mowbray businesses remotely from Mansfield, and any on-site job is quoted upfront.
