Welcome to Northamptonshire 'On the Map' campaign
At Jeyes of Earls Barton, we’re proud to help put Northamptonshire on the map.Northamptonshire On the Map is a growing campaign bringing together passionate business people to celebrate our county and raise its profile as a place to visit, invest in and enjoy.
Georgina, Pip and Anna Jeyes are among its founding members, united by a shared love of Northamptonshire and all it has to offer.The campaign’s ambition is to secure a brown tourism sign at Junction 15 of the northbound M1, encouraging more people to discover our county. With official endorsement from both West Northamptonshire Council and North Northamptonshire Council, the application is now with National Highways, awaiting approval.
To help champion the campaign, we’ve created a special addition to our Jeyes’ Northamptonshire Sauce range: ‘A Brown Sauce for a Brown Sign!’ Available now at Jeyes of Earls Barton, it’s a delicious way to celebrate Northamptonshire.Follow the link below to find out more about the campaign and how you can get involved.
John Henderson, one of the founders of 'On the Map' group shares,
"Northamptonshire. Widely regarded as a hidden gem.
A gem it most certainly is. From glorious country houses to rolling fields. Towering spires to historic battlefield sites.
But what about it being seen as, well hidden?
You must ask. How can a gem thrive, if it remains out of view?
Recently a group of liked minded businesses and organisations got together to ask this question.
Thousands of motorists use the M1 through the county every day. How can more of them be encouraged to experience those gems?
The result? A voluntary group ‘On the Map,’ was formed with the sole aim of exploring the installation of a brown tourist sign on the M1 approaching junction 15, to make Northamptonshire more gem than hidden.
The heart of the shires, at the heart of the UK transport network, should be the place to explore new adventures.
We think so. We hope you do to."
