Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Annan
Annan forms part of Dumfries and Galloway. Annan is a historic market town and former royal burgh in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland.
Carlisle's new Business Improvement District, the Great Border City BID, was approved by local businesses in November 2025, set to raise £4.6 million over its first five-year term to invest in the city centre. According to government data (ONS, March 2026), there were 6,400 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
27.4% of working-age people in Dumfries and Galloway were economically inactive in 2023 (ONS). Numbers like that are part of the backdrop marketing intelligence is built to work within.
