Marketing Intelligence for St Dunstan's Local Businesses
Located in Canterbury (South East), St Dunstan's takes in the CT2 postcode district and neighbours Sturry, Blean and Harbledown. Canterbury Cathedral, founded by St Augustine in 597 AD, became the third most important Christian pilgrimage site in the world after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170, with pilgrims flocking to his shrine for over three hundred years and buying pilgrim badges as a medieval souvenir. The cobbled streets around the cathedral, including the Buttermarket, are still full of independent shops today, from Chaucer Bookshop to Canterbury Pottery.
Canterbury's Business Improvement District has been renewed by ballot three times (2014, 2019 and 2024) and now collects around £490,000 a year in levy from more than 650 businesses within the city walls. According to official ONS figures, there were 5,835 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
The employment rate in Canterbury was 67.2% in 2023 (ONS). Numbers like that are part of the backdrop marketing intelligence is built to work within.
