New homes, new families, new customers
Peterborough grew by more than 17% in ten years, and much of that growth is in new estates such as Hampton, Cardea and Paston Reserve. New households have not yet settled on their dentist, takeaway, gym or garage, which makes door drops in these areas especially effective for local services.
More than one in five Peterborough households is a couple with dependent children, and the city is younger than the national average. Family offers, after school activities and home improvement services tend to do well here.
The PE postcode is huge. Peterborough holds only around a quarter of its homes; the rest are in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk market towns and the Fens, from Huntingdon and St Neots to Spalding, Boston, Wisbech, King’s Lynn, Stamford and Skegness. Royal Mail Door to Door is usually the best way to cover the rural parts, while our teams suit the city’s denser estates.
