Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Old Ford

Within Tower Hamlets, Old Ford is a distinct local area. Named after the natural ford which provided a crossing of the River Lea.

Official ONS figures counted 18,200 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. London is too large for any one business body to speak for the whole city; its oldest is the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, founded in 1881 and now representing almost 10,000 businesses, while the Mayor of London's Grow London Local service gives small businesses in any borough free, one-to-one advice.

7.3% of businesses in Tower Hamlets were classed as high-growth in 2024 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, marketing intelligence is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
