The Hinckley Business Improvement District (Hinckley BID) is starting its fourth five-year term, following a successful ballot result.
Hinckley BID is part of a national movement where businesses in a local area vote to pool their resources and support a range of initiatives designed to help their businesses to be more successful. In the Hinckley BID’s ballot, 74% of eligible businesses voted in favour of a further five-year term.
The BID team report to the Hinckley Town Centre Partnership Ltd (HTCP) whose unremunerated board of directors include senior representatives from Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council as well as a wide range of local businesses and the voluntary sector.
Steve Wegerif, BID Director, said: “I am absolutely delighted that we have been re-elected for another five years and would like to thank all our member businesses for their support. This is testament to the dedicated and hard work by the BID team.
“It also highlights how working in partnership in these financially hard times is essential and we look forward to continuing to promote the wide and diverse range of Hinckley businesses and all that they have to offer.”
Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council Chief Executive Bill Cullen said: “This is a resounding thumbs up from Hinckley businesses. It recognises the great work the BID team undertake in partnership with other local organisations such as the council to promote the town and drive business to the area.
“I look forward to continuing to work with them and supporting our local town centre – congratulations.”
