Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Gurnos
Within Merthyr Tydfil, Gurnos is a distinct local area. It had a population of 5280 at the most recent census. Its population at the 2011 census was 5,280.
Government data (ONS, March 2026) counted 1,255 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. The Big Heart of Merthyr Tydfil, only the second Business Improvement District in Wales when it was set up in 2012, was renewed for a further five years after 95% of town centre businesses voted in favour.
55.3% of new businesses in Merthyr Tydfil were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). Numbers like that make marketing intelligence worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.
