Local Business Marketing Intelligence in Highgate
Within Birmingham, West Midlands, Highgate shares postcode district B12 with neighbouring Balsall Heath and Deritend. Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter has made fine metalwork for over 250 years and once produced 40% of all jewellery made in the UK; its Assay Office, founded by Act of Parliament in 1773, is still the largest in Europe. St Paul's Square, the city's only remaining Georgian square, sits at the heart of a district where the first FA Cup and the whistles used on the Titanic were both made.
ONS's figures for March 2026 recorded 38,605 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Colmore BID, covering the city's business quarter, is now in its fourth five-year term since April 2024, funded by a levy on the district's businesses, and works alongside the separately run Central BID covering Birmingham's retail and hospitality streets.
43,175 active businesses were registered in Birmingham in 2024 (ONS). That kind of churn is precisely why marketing intelligence matters - standing still isn't an option when the market around you isn't.
