Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in The Straits
The Straits is one of Dudley's local areas, within postcode district DY3, bordering Ruiton, Gornalwood and Smestow. Dudley is branded the capital of the Black Country, and quarrymen working its 19th-century limestone mines regularly found the trilobite fossil that became known locally as the Dudley Bug.
ONS counted 10,100 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Dudley itself has no town centre Business Improvement District, unlike Halesowen and Stourbridge elsewhere in the borough; local businesses are instead represented through the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, covering Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
Dudley's population changed by 3.1% over the five years to 2024 (ONS). More or fewer people nearby changes how much opportunity there is - marketing intelligence is how you make the most of it.
