LOVE LOCAL Corsham sponsored by Naturally Social Corsham is a medieval market town with royal connections which is on the edge of the Cotswolds - it was originally known as Cosseha and much of its early wealth derived from the wool and stone trades. It is well known for its free roaming peacocks who live at Corsham Court which is central to the town. The mansion house was originally linked to King Ethelred. Today the town is thriving with a population of around 13,000. In Wiltshire it’s rapidly becoming known as a digital hub with the establishment of the Digital Mansion House on Pickwick Road. Naturally Social is an award-winning communications agency based in the Digital Mansion House in Corsham. This summer it’s celebrating five years in business. The firm was set up by local resident Natalie Sherman in 2015 to work with companies and organisations who put purpose before profit. Since its launch Naturally Social has supported over 200 ambitious charities and ethical companies, enhancing their communications and creating real results. Its core services include marketing, social media management and training, paid social media and public relations. Natalie Sherman, Founder and Director of Naturally Social said, “We’re sponsoring The Business Exchange’s Love Local Corsham campaign because we want more people to know about this fantastic town and its amazing businesses. Corsham is also so pretty! It has so much on the doorstep; great walks, breathtaking views and a hugely interesting heritage.” 5 CORSHAM BUSINESSES RECOMMENDED BY NATALIE 1.
