Welcome to British BIDs

The Voice for BIDs

 

The organisation dedicated to the BID industry focused on thought leadership, research and market commentary

 

British BIDs is leading the way on the development, management, renewal and evolution of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in Britain. BIDs are business-led partnerships focused on improving and enhancing commercial areas including town and city centres, commercial locations and industrial estates.

 

BIDs are about working in partnership and we believe that we can achieve more through collaboration than working alone. As the needs of the industry evolve and the opportunities for innovation increase, the value of shared delivery seems self evident.

 

Our Commercial Partners are Jones Lang Lasalle and Alliance Boots. JLL are a leading global real estate business and Alliance Boots are a significant retail player on the High Street, both add a real breadth of knowledge and expertise to our offer.

 

Our Communications Partner is The Green Brain, providing important communications, policy and public affairs support to the industry.

  

Our Marketing Partner is Footfall123, who provide an all-in-one marketing tool, incorporating loyalty marketing & customer loyalty functionality, for high street businesses.

 

Our Research Partners are the University of Ulster and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Adding academic rigour and professionalism to our research work is critical to ensure our messages are well articulated and heard.
