THE 2023 ANNUAL BID SURVEY AND REPORT

Each year we share our Annual Survey and Report which captures the most up-to-date data for the entire BID industry in the British Isles. Those that attended the 2023 National BIDs Conference enjoyed an exclusive preview of the survey data, and today we are pleased to share with you the full 17th Annual Survey.

The purpose of the 17th National Survey 2023 The twelve months since the last survey continue to be turbulent; along with the continuing effects of the Covid-19, other major concerns are emerging. Climate change, with a major heatwave in the summers of 2022 and 2023, a war in Ukraine, with a concomitant impact on fuel and food supplies and prices, a further change of political leadership in Great Britain & NI, the impact of Brexit, and an increase in inflation. The government brought in an abortive growth plan1 at the end of 2022, and then some major perturbations as the government moved away from the growth agenda and focussed on stability under a new Prime Minister and Chancellor. All this has had an impact on the business community and thus Business Improvement Districts.
