Better for Business

Bradford BID works hard to champion businesses and organisations across the city centre, representing their interests, lobbying on their behalf and backing projects to encourage inward investment.

A Positive Environment

The BID aims to create a positive environment for everyone who lives, works, visits, spends their leisure time and makes a living in and from the city centre.

A Vibrant Experience

One of the BID’s key objectives is to help make the city centre a thriving, vibrant and bustling place at all times of the day and evening, encouraging more people to spend time here, supporting custom and trade.
