Marketing Intelligence for Pen-y-lan Local Businesses
In Cardiff's corner of the Wales region, Pen-y-lan covers postcode district CF23 and borders Pentwyn, Pontprennau and Y Rhath. Cardiff is known as the 'City of Arcades' for having the biggest concentration of Victorian, Edwardian and modern indoor shopping arcades in Britain, starting with the Royal Arcade in 1858 after a slum house was cleared to make way for it. Castle Arcade, opened in 1887 opposite Cardiff Castle, is Grade II* listed as the finest of the city's Victorian arcades, and around 80% of the shops across all of Cardiff's arcades today are independent businesses.
FOR Cardiff, the city centre's Business Improvement District, was voted for by businesses in 2016 and now represents more than 750 city centre businesses funding shared improvements. ONS counted 12,120 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
13,010 active businesses were registered in Cardiff in 2024 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, marketing intelligence is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
