Barnsley Local Business Marketing Intelligence
Barnsley once had up to 70 collieries within 15 miles, all closed by 1994, and its glassmaking industry dates back to the 17th century, giving rise to the local saying that where there's muck, there's brass and glass.
Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce has served the local business community for over 100 years and now has 1,100 active members employing over 100,000 people across South Yorkshire. ONS recorded 6,910 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
11.4% of businesses in Barnsley were newly started ('born') in 2024 (ONS business demography). In a market changing that fast, marketing intelligence is what keeps a business visible instead of lost in the churn.
