In recognition of the economic importance of Industrial and Business Park BIDs whilst acknowledging that they are very different to town centre BIDs, British BIDs has launched a bespoke membership package which includes dedicated networking opportunities and representation for Industrial and Business Park BIDs.
The group was formed in 2020 to act as a focal point for bespoke networking for Industrial BID Managers, best practice sharing, policy framing and general profile raising of industrial BIDs.
Our bespoke Industrial BID membership package is open to BIDs operating on industrial estates or business parks. The package includes all the usual Bb benefits plus Industrial BID virtual meetings (4 times a year with a mix of “expert speaker” sessions, policy sessions and informal issues-based surgeries), one physical meeting per year (subject to interest) and access to a friendly group of like-minded BID practitioners.

Steve Sawyer, Executive Director at Manor Royal BID said:
"It’s great to bring managers from Industrial BIDs together. These BIDs represent a wide range of different types of levy payers including the head offices of large multi-national companies, utilities, businesses in the professional services sector, trade and those that support the retail, leisure and hospitality industry".
