Marketing Intelligence for Hexham Local Businesses
Hexham grew up around the abbey Bishop Wilfrid built here in 674, its crypt still made from stone robbed from nearby Hadrian's Wall, and traders have gathered at its market since 1239. The Shambles, a colonnaded shelter built in 1766 to keep market traders dry in the Northumberland weather, still stands in the Market Place where the defeated Duke of Somerset was once executed.
In the months after Hexham town centre finished a £3.5 million Heritage Action Zone regeneration project, nine new independent shops, cafes and restaurants opened there according to local reporting — a notable wave of small business growth for a town of Hexham's size. ONS counted 11,600 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
94.1% of new businesses in Northumberland 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.
