Website Creation: Built for Local Businesses in Leicester
Leicester's market has traded on the same site for over 700 years, first recorded in 1298 though possibly named centuries earlier as 'Cheapside' in the Domesday Book, and today it's Europe's largest covered market. Away from the modern Highcross shopping centre, the narrow Victorian arcades of The Lanes still hold independent shops and coffee houses tucked into the old street pattern.
BID Leicester funds a business-led programme to keep the city centre clean, safe and attractive for the traders inside it; Leicestershire's own chamber of commerce, founded in 1918, merged into the three-county East Midlands Chamber in 2017 and now serves over 12,000 businesses across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire together. ONS recorded 13,905 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
Workers in Leicester produced £35.47 of economic value for every hour worked in 2023 (ONS). That's real spending power locally - website creation is how you make sure some of it finds its way to you.
