British BIDs and The Means are delighted with GO! Southampton BIDs successful ballot

POSTED ON: 29/11/2021

British BIDs and The Means are delighted with GO! Southampton Business Improvement District’s (BID) successful ballot outcome following the close of ballot on 11th November.  

The BID result was a fantastic outcome for the BID team with 91.4% of levy payers supporting the BID by 92.2% rateable value and a turnout of 44%, demonstrating how valued GO! Southampton is both by local and national levy payers; a great endorsement of all the hard work the BID team have put in.  

Both British BIDs and The Means collaborated with the GO! Southampton team to support their renewal.

Rebecca Handley, Deputy Executive Director and Operations Director for GO! Southampton said "We had superb support from both organisations who worked together to combine their skills and expertise to help us secure a great mandate from our levy payers. I couldn’t be happier with the support provided by The Means and British BIDs who both worked so well with our BID team."

Peter Williams said "It’s a great endorsement for GO! Southampton. The Means are delighted to have supported the team with their renewal preparations including their business plan, working with British BIDs."

Chris Turner, CEO of British BIDs agreed: "We are clearly delighted to have worked with GO! Southampton supporting them with their national engagement up to and throughout the ballot period. It’s great that two different organisations were able to collaborate to achieve a brilliant result."
