Gamesley: the place behind the numbers

In a place where 49.1% of households rent from a council or housing association, many customers compare prices carefully. Showing prices or starting prices clearly on the website saves everyone time.

Who is in business in High Peak

Of the 4,425 business sites counted in the High Peak local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

• Farms and agricultural businesses (290): where to buy their products and what they grow or raise.
• Restaurants, cafés and pubs (330): photos of the dishes and the room and the menu with prices.
• Gyms, sports clubs and leisure businesses (85): how to get in touch and the timetable.
• Tutors, driving schools and training providers (125): instructor qualifications and how to enrol.
• Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets (50): rates by season and what is nearby.

Among the most common trades: 55 accounting and auditing practices, 110 vehicle maintenance and repair garages and 20 dental practices. Most are small: 85.1% employ fewer than ten people. Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to get in touch.

Rules to know before your Gamesley website goes live

Some homework for Gamesley businesses before the website goes live:

• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
• When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling

This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.
