Farringdon Local Business Marketing Intelligence
In Sunderland's corner of the North East region, Farringdon covers postcode district SR3 and borders Sourmilk Hill, Thorney Close and Tunstall. Sunderland's twin monastery at Wearmouth-Jarrow, founded in 674 AD, produced the Venerable Bede, one of the most important scholars of the early medieval world. By 1815 the town had become the world's leading wooden shipbuilding port, launching around 600 ships a year from 31 separate yards along the Wear.
Sunderland BID has put over £6 million into the city centre since 2014, later expanding to cover the Sheepfolds area and launching a separate Seafront BID for the coastal business district. Official ONS figures recorded 6,085 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
The employment rate in Sunderland was 72.4% in 2023 (ONS). A labour market like that shapes who's around to become your customer - marketing intelligence helps you reach them.
