Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Green Bank
Within Blackburn with Darwen, North West, Green Bank shares postcode district BB1 with neighbouring Norden, Blackburn and Lower Audley. Around 1910, at the height of the Lancashire cotton trade, Blackburn employed more weavers than any other town in the world, roughly 42,000 people working looms across more than 100 mills.
According to the ONS's own figures, there were 5,705 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Blackburn BID, representing around 360 town centre businesses, was re-elected for a second five-year term in a November 2023 ballot with an overwhelming yes vote, securing a further £1.5 million of local investment from January 2024.
92.5% of new businesses in Blackburn with Darwen were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). Numbers like that make marketing intelligence worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.
