Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in The Valley
In Cheshire East's corner of the North West region, The Valley covers postcode district CW2 and borders Wells Green, Balterley Green and Wistaston. Crewe barely existed before the Grand Junction Railway sited its works there in the 1840s, growing the town's population to 40,000 by 1871, and it remains home to Bentley Motors' UK headquarters today.
The ONS's March 2026 IDBR snapshot counted 19,750 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Crewe's first ever Business Improvement District began operating in April 2024 after 67% of eligible local businesses voted in favour, raising around £260,000 a year toward a £1.6 million programme of town centre improvements.
Cheshire East's population changed by 7.9% over the five years to 2024 (ONS). That's a real, measurable sense of how many potential customers are nearby - exactly what marketing intelligence is built to reach.
