Local Business Marketing Intelligence in The Point

Located in East Devon (South West), The Point takes in the EX8 postcode district and neighbours Brixington, Withycombe Raleigh and Hulham. The Sid Vale Association, founded in 1846, is described as Britain's first civic society, and J.R.R. Tolkien drafted early chapters of The Lord of the Rings while on holiday in Sidmouth in 1938.

Sidmouth has no town-specific Chamber of Commerce, so local businesses are more commonly represented through the Devon, Exeter and Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, which has represented Devon businesses since 1958. Government data (ONS, March 2026) counted 6,970 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.

6,365 active businesses were registered in East Devon in 2024 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, marketing intelligence is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
