Social Media Content for Shirrel Local Businesses
Shirrel is one of North Lanarkshire's local areas, within postcode district ML4, bordering Milnwood, Bellshill and Orbiston. Motherwell was nicknamed Steelopolis as Scotland's steel capital, with the Ravenscraig works once among the largest steelworks in Western Europe, while Airdrie's Weavers Society was founded in 1781 and made steel pipes for the WWII PLUTO undersea pipeline to Normandy.
Government figures (ONS, March 2026 IDBR snapshot) counted 7,910 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Lanarkshire Chamber of Commerce, formed in 2003 through the merger of several more local chambers including Motherwell & District, represents businesses across North and South Lanarkshire with networking, export support and advocacy.
4.2% of businesses in North Lanarkshire were classed as high-growth in 2024 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, social media content is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
About Social Media Content
Social Media Content is our monthly service for owners who would rather run their business than stare at an empty caption box. We think of the ideas, write the words and design the graphics, then send every batch to you for approval before anything goes out.
How it works, start to finish
Step 1: Brand session
A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.
Step 2: Research
We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.
Step 3: Monthly batch
We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.
Step 4: Your approval
You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.
Step 5: Scheduling and publishing
Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
