Bearwood Local Business Marketing Intelligence
In Birmingham's corner of the West Midlands region, Bearwood covers postcode district B17 and borders Harborne. Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter has made fine metalwork for over 250 years and once produced 40% of all jewellery made in the UK; its Assay Office, founded by Act of Parliament in 1773, is still the largest in Europe. St Paul's Square, the city's only remaining Georgian square, sits at the heart of a district where the first FA Cup and the whistles used on the Titanic were both made.
Colmore BID, covering the city's business quarter, is now in its fourth five-year term since April 2024, funded by a levy on the district's businesses, and works alongside the separately run Central BID covering Birmingham's retail and hospitality streets. The official March 2026 snapshot recorded 38,605 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
59.5% of new businesses in Birmingham 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.
