About Us
About Norwich BID
Norwich Business Improvement District (BID) is a not-for-profit organisation set up to represent the needs of local businesses and deliver meaningful improvements to our city for visitors, residents and workers.
Since 2012, Norwich BID has worked on behalf of over 700 business in the greater Norwich area. We are funded, managed and led by these businesses, and – during the course of the last decade – have delivered work which we know has had a meaningful impact on people who live and work here. We are forward thinking and collaborative, built of an exceptional team of people who are passionate about this city.
Our work sits across tourism, city marketing, enhancing and animating the cityscape, and ensuring businesses have what they need to trade as profitably, safely and sustainably as possible. You can read about our current – and previous – projects here.
What is a BID?
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) allow for businesses to have access to additional services that would be beyond their individual budget and scope.
Norwich BID is one of over 340 BIDs established across all four nations of the UK. BIDs bring businesses from a defined area together to create a collective fund, helping to support investment in our towns and cities.
