About Us
Bracknell has long been a key hub for industry and commerce, with its strategic location, excellent transport links, and diverse business landscape shaping its evolution into a thriving business destination. From its early development in the post-war era to the present day, Bracknell has attracted leading companies across a range of sectors, including technology, logistics, manufacturing, and professional services.
With over 300 businesses operating within the Western and Southern Business Areas, Bracknell continues to build on its rich industrial heritage, offering a dynamic environment for growth, innovation, and investment. The creation of the Bracknell Business Improvement District (BID) in 2020 marked a new chapter in the town’s development, with a focus on enhancing the business environment and supporting the continued success of local companies.
Bracknell BID is a business-led, not-for-profit partnership formed by the local business community after lengthy consultations and a successful ballot. The BID’s primary objective is to enhance the trading environment within the Western and Southern Business Areas—collectively known as the 'BID Area.' Through BID levies, the BID funds strategic projects and initiatives that support sustainable growth, attract investment, and address the evolving needs of businesses.
Managed by Bracknell Investment Group Ltd, a company created by local business representatives, the BID is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that ensures fair and balanced representation from all sectors. With over £3 million to be invested during the current term, Bracknell BID is dedicated to supporting the prosperity and continued success of the local business community.
The BID Board is supported by Partnerships for Better Business Ltd (pfbbUK), one of the largest BID consultancies in the UK, who develop and deliver Business Improvement Districts across the country.
