All industries in Leicester

Together, restaurants and eating places, property developers and general business services make up the top three industries in Leicester, accounting for 17% of the city's commercial activity. The oldest company we can find in Leicester is Trawlerman, founded in 1838, with Hunt, L B not far behind. They're still here, along with hundreds of thousands of others.

Hosiery and footwear made Leicester a textile power, and cloth is still cut here while its big market, two universities and famously diverse food scene keep trade lively. All of them are in our data.
