Marketing Intelligence for Portland Local Businesses
Located in Somerset (South West), Portland takes in the BA16 postcode district and neighbours Middle Leigh, Lower Leigh and Portway. Bridgwater's Guy Fawkes Carnival can be traced back through journalistic records to 1847, making it the oldest event of its kind in the UK, and the town retains the unique tradition of squibbing, giant fireworks held aloft on poles.
Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce, formerly the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce, has represented the town's business community since incorporating in 2008 and runs the Bridgwater Town Team promoting the town centre. According to the ONS's own figures, there were 24,665 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
92.3% of new businesses in Somerset were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). In a market changing that fast, marketing intelligence is what keeps a business visible instead of lost in the churn.
