Solihull BID seeks manager
The interim Solihull town-centre business improvement district (BID) board is working towards taking on its first employees. The priority is the appointment of a BID manager to oversee the employment of staff to act as town-centre rangers and begin work on the projects already identified by the pre-BID board, such as marketing and promoting the town centre. A board for the new BID company will be elected in the near future; interested parties from companies in the town centre will be eligible. The board will be responsible for a £2.5m budget over the next five years.
