From BBC news, to virtual meetings & training, we reflect on the past 3 months

POSTED ON: 16/06/2020

Yesterday saw the long-awaited reopening of shops for our town and city centres in England. In the lead-up to this, the team at British BIDs have worked hard to provide as much support as we can to BIDs and key stakeholders. 

By leading the BID industry, we have supported more than 250 BIDs since lockdown and our membership is the highest it has ever been.

From featuring on BBC News through to hosting zoom meetings with you, we reflect on the past 3 months.
