Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Blyth and Ashington
Blyth was the busiest coal port in England in 1961 and its shipyard built the first aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal, in 1914, while Ashington grew around its collieries to become known as the world's largest coal-mining village.
ONS recorded 11,600 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Blyth's businesses voted against creating their own Business Improvement District in a 2018 ballot, with only 59 votes in favour (49.2% of votes cast) falling short of the majority needed in both votes cast and rateable value; the town's businesses remain supported instead through individual firms and Northumberland-wide business support.
Population density in Northumberland was 66 people per square km in 2024 (ONS). More or fewer people nearby changes how much opportunity there is - marketing intelligence is how you make the most of it.
