The new Co-Chairs take over from Bill Addy, Chief Executive of Liverpool BID Company, who, alongside Andrew Cooper and Stefan Gurney as Vice Chairs, have led The BID Foundation since its inception, guiding the organisation and its Members through the COVID-19 crisis.
Stefan Gurney, Chief Executive of Norwich BID, will continue in the role of Vice Chair.
Speaking about their appointment, Michele Wilby said:
“BIDs have been at the forefront of helping to shape places across the UK for nearly 20 years but, as the industry has matured, they have been able to really demonstrate their value in supporting businesses through really challenging economic times. I’d like to thank Bill and Andrew for their work so far and I look forward to working with Nadia and Stefan to further develop The BID Foundation as a key industry voice, representing towns and cities up and down the country.”
Co-Presidente Nadia Broccardo disse:
“As empresas são parte integrante de nossas cidades e centros da cidade e distritos de melhoria de negócios têm sido um mecanismo dinâmico que ajudou a moldar e progredir em nossos distritos de trabalho. No momento, os lances são mais importantes do que nunca, dando à estabilidade das comunidades empresariais, orientação e serviços garantidos, todos vitais à medida que continuamos a nos adaptar por esse período de mudança. ”
“ À medida que nos adaptamos a novos desafios juntos, o órgão profissional independente da Fundação de Bidirá para garantir o sucesso de nossos stakeholds. I am delighted to be working with and learning from Michele Wilby and Cathy Parker who are incredibly knowledgeable in their fields.”
Founded in 2018, The BID Foundation represents over 80 of the most influential Business Improvement Districts in the UK, which work to support businesses and communities, promoting vital and viable local areas and creating growth. The BID sector has invested over £1bn back into places since their inception in the UK in 2005. A BID Foundation faz parte do Instituto de Gerenciamento de Place, com sede na Universidade Metropolitana de Manchester e que lidera a Força -Tarefa das Ruas High do governo.
A Fundação Bid trabalha para representar lances, compartilhar as melhores práticas, influenciar a política do local e apoiar o trabalho dos lances com milhares de empresas pagantes de taxa. Sob os novos co-presidentes, a BID Foundation se concentrará em quatro temas-chave: Seguro e Seguro; domínio público; líquido zero; e Artes, Marketing e Investimento Interior. Durante a crise Covid-19, a organização trabalhou em estreita colaboração com o governo do Reino Unido, fornecendo apoio a lances e empresas para permanecer resiliente e reconstruir após o final dos períodos de bloqueio. Como destinos, para construir habilidades locais e criar novas ofertas de serviços comerciais ambientalmente sustentáveis. ”
The BID Foundation commissioned a 2019 study of the BID sector – the ‘State-of-the-Art Report’ – which identified a number of recommendations to support Business Improvement Districts to deliver the most value to their local areas and the UK. During the COVID-19 crisis, the organisation worked closely with UK Government, providing support to BIDs and businesses to remain resilient and rebuild after the end of lockdown periods.
Cathy Parker, Chair of the Institute of Place Management, said:
“Business Improvement Districts each represent an average of 400 organisations in their local areas and they play a key role in place making; from hosting local events and marketing places as destinations, to building local skills and creating new offering environmentally sustainable business services.”
“I’m delighted that Nadia and Michele will be bringing their drive, experience and dedication to place, to their new roles as Co-Chairs. From their positions in leading BIDs in both London and Birmingham, The BID Foundation is well positioned to represent a real diversity of BIDs, places and communities.”
