Business Directory

Submit your business to The Ditch Directory.

Local businesses, shops, venues, cafés, trades, services and community organisations can send their details for consideration in The Ditch Business Directory.

The directory

The directory is designed to help readers find local businesses and support places across Redditch and the surrounding area.

Who can submit?

We welcome submissions from local shops, food and drink venues, cafés, pubs, trades, independent businesses, community organisations, local services and places open to the public.

What happens after submission?

Details are reviewed before publication. Submission does not guarantee inclusion, and listings may be edited for clarity, length, accuracy, house style and relevance to the local audience.

What should be included?

The more complete the information, the easier it is to create a useful listing. Include a clear description of what the business offers, where it is based, and how people can contact or visit.

  • Business name and category.
  • A short description of the business.
  • Location, trading area or address.
  • Website or social media links.
  • Contact details for publication or verification.
  • Opening hours, where relevant.
  • A logo, photograph or image if available.

Editorial discretion

The Ditch reserves editorial discretion over all directory listings. We may decline listings that are incomplete, misleading, unsuitable, unrelated to the local area, or do not fit the purpose of the directory.

Businesses are responsible for making sure the information they provide is accurate and up to date. The Ditch may edit or remove listings where details change or concerns are raised.

Weekly social media mentions

Businesses included in The Ditch Directory may also be considered for regular social media mentions.

Extra local visibility

As part of supporting local businesses, The Ditch may offer weekly social media mentions for businesses listed in the directory. These mentions can help highlight local shops, venues, services and places worth knowing about.

What businesses should send

If you would like to be considered for a social media mention, please include a suitable image, flyer, logo or photograph when submitting your business details.

  • A clear business image, logo or promotional flyer.
  • A short description of what the business offers.
  • Any current offers, events, opening times or useful updates.
  • Website, booking link or social media page if available.

Need a simple graphic?

If you do not already have a flyer or image ready, The Ditch may be able to create a simple promotional graphic using the submitted business details. This can help keep the listing and social media mention clear, tidy and suitable for sharing.

Social media mentions are offered at The Ditch’s discretion and may depend on space, suitability, image quality, relevance and the information provided.
