Marketing Intelligence for Cricket Houses Local Businesses
Cricket Houses sits within Sheffield, Yorkshire and The Humber, covering the S2 postcode area, with Newfield Green, Sheffield Park and The Manor close by. Sheffield's cutlery trade already had a reputation by the time Chaucer gave one of his Canterbury Tales pilgrims a 'Sheffield thwitel' (knife), and the city's fast rivers gave it the water power to grind blades at scale. Its 'little mesters' — self-employed craftsmen working from small rented workshops, each specialising in one stage of the process, from forging to polishing — built that trade for centuries, and in 1913 one of their successors, Harry Brearley, cast the first stainless steel here.
According to the most recent ONS snapshot (March 2026), there were 17,310 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Sheffield Chamber of Commerce has represented the city's businesses since 1857, while the separate Sheffield BID funds city centre improvements through a levy paid by the businesses inside its boundary.
Job density in Sheffield was 0.79 in 2024 (ONS) - roughly that many jobs for every working-age resident. Numbers like that are part of the backdrop marketing intelligence is built to work within.
