Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Shaw Cross
In Kirklees's corner of the Yorkshire and The Humber region, Shaw Cross covers postcode district WF12 and borders Fox Royd, Briestfield and Thornhill Edge. Huddersfield hosted the first Pride march outside London on 4 July 1981, and the George Hotel is recognised as the birthplace of Rugby League in 1895.
Huddersfield BID, established in 2019 after a ballot of local businesses, was extended for a second five-year term from October 2024, with a budgeted income of around £2.2 million over the period. According to ONS's most recent business figures, there were 15,715 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
93.3% of new businesses in Kirklees were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, marketing intelligence is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
