Ashford Local Business Marketing Intelligence
Ashford grew from a settlement recorded around 893 AD into a market town by 1243, and still holds markets on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The town became a major Victorian railway hub sitting at the junction of five lines, and in 1996 its international station became the first stop in England for Eurostar trains running through the Channel Tunnel to Lille and Paris.
Made in Ashford, a collaborative shop in Park Mall running since 2015, is the permanent home to over 70 local craft and design businesses, while the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, headquartered at Ashford Business Point, represents businesses across the whole county from its base in the town. ONS recorded 6,630 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
6,390 active businesses were registered in Ashford in 2024 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, marketing intelligence is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
