ABOUT US

About Newbury BID
Newbury BID (Business Improvement District) is a not-for-profit organisation formed in 2012 by local businesses, for local businesses. It is a fully independent, business-led and business-funded Community Interest Company, which exists to allow the 600+ businesses of Newbury Town Centre to work together collaboratively towards a shared vision and purpose.
“Our long-term vision is to establish Newbury as a go-to destination for businesses and visitors from all around the world, with the BID leading the way on place-shaping and town centre transformation.”
Every business which occupies a hereditament (business rateable premises) within Newbury’s Business Improvement District pays an annual BID Levy. These funds are supplemented by income from the BID’s commercial activities and are used to deliver the projects voted for by businesses as part of the BID’s Term II Business Plan to ensure that:

Marketing & Promotion

People from near and far know about Newbury and everything the town has to offer

Attractive Town Centre
