Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Hockley
Part of Birmingham in the West Midlands region, Hockley is covered by postcode district B18 and lies close to Winson Green, All Saints and Gib Heath. 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.
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. According to ONS's figures for March 2026, there were 38,605 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
15.1% of businesses in Birmingham were newly started ('born') in 2024 (ONS business demography). That kind of churn is precisely why marketing intelligence matters - standing still isn't an option when the market around you isn't.
