Local Business Marketing Intelligence in Barking and Dagenham
Barking was once home to the Short Blue Fleet, the largest fishing fleet in the world when it formed in 1764, and Dagenham's Ford plant, built 1929-31, became one of the largest car factories in Europe, producing 360,000 military vehicles during the Second World War.
Barking & Dagenham Chamber of Commerce represents the borough's businesses, most of which are small and medium-sized, with more than 95% employing fewer than 50 people. ONS recorded 8,540 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
62.5% of new businesses in Barking and Dagenham were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). Numbers like that make marketing intelligence worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.
