Webinar with high street expert Bill Grimsey

POSTED ON: 13/07/2020

We recently saw the release of ‘Build Back Better’, a COVID-19 supplement to the Grimsey Review. It offers a thought-provoking read, with one of the emerging thoughts being that the pandemic could be the shock needed for high streets to thrive in the future. You can read the full document here.

We were delighted that Bill Grimsey joined us for an exclusive webinar to share his views on how our high streets will need to adapt from COVID-19, as well as discussing the latest Grimsey Review with British BIDs’ Chris Turner.

You can watch a clip from the webinar here, or if you would like the full webinar then please request this by getting in touch with contact@britishbids.info.
