Leeds Local Business Marketing Intelligence
Leeds Kirkgate Market, one of Europe's largest covered markets, began as an open-air market in 1822 and is the birthplace of Marks & Spencer, founded here in 1884 when Michael Marks set up a 'penny bazaar' stall with the slogan 'Don't ask the price, it's a penny'. Today the Victorian market hall still holds over 800 stalls and draws more than 100,000 visitors a week.
LeedsBID is the largest multi-sector Business Improvement District outside London, representing close to 800 city centre businesses across every sector. ONS recorded 29,830 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
10.1% of businesses in Leeds closed ('died') in 2024 (ONS business demography). In a market changing that fast, marketing intelligence is what keeps a business visible instead of lost in the churn.
About Marketing Intelligence

We bring the available information together: what changed, what worked and what needs attention.
Step 4: Recommendations
Prioritised actions in plain English, so you know what to do next without deciphering a spreadsheet.
