Bude Local Business Marketing Intelligence
Bude's Cornish name, Porthbud, refers to an old holy man, and the town was the birthplace of British surf life saving, with the first club founded there in 1953.
The Bude and Greater Area Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer-run membership organisation representing local business views, affiliated with the county-wide Cornwall Chamber and open to businesses, charities and community groups across North Cornwall. ONS recorded 25,575 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
9.1% of businesses in Cornwall were newly started ('born') in 2024 (ONS business demography). Numbers like that make marketing intelligence worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.
