  • BID Leicester Business Plan
    BUSINESS PLAN 2018-2023 INTRODUCTION FROM THE C0-CHAIRS We are both delighted to introduce to you the Business Plan for the Leicester Business Improvement District (BID). This plan has been developed after extensive engagement and consultation with the businesses in Leicester city centre within the BID area. A steering group made up of representatives from over 20 businesses from across the different sectors in Leicester city centre has been working hard to engage with businesses to get their feedback to inform this plan. Leicester is now the only major UK city without a BID and never has the time been more appropriate to secure the future of the city. The last 12 months have seen significant change in the city and not just as a consequence of the discovery of the remains of King Richard III or Leicester City Football Club’s Premier League title and Champions League success. The city’s confidence has grown from recent extensive investment and development, attracting new businesses to the city centre. Leicester is truly beginning to believe in its own potential. The comprehensive consultation identified that the focus for a Leicester BID should be on delivering a more welcoming, more accessible, safer city centre that is better promoted to drive business day and night and where the business community is actively supported. All these aspects would contribute to Leicester being increasingly recognized as a destination of choice. A BID is a great way to tap into this potential to see Leicester grow and deliver a better experience for people who work, visit, and live in the city.

The Leicester Economic Plan is largely focused on how to attract investment, and where it should go to improve the city landscape and local businesses. The Plan presents a vision for not only a regional centre of business but one that will be a tourist destination. Leicester Profile Leicester is a prominent city in the East Midlands for business and leisure, with three universities and excellent transport connections. This has made it the most populated city in the region and the 13th most populated in the UK. Consequently, this has led to one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the country, with over 100 languages spoken within Leicester. Businesses benefit greatly from a large international workforce and have a pipeline of 50k graduates from three Universities in the area. Companies also profit from a well-connected transport system, enabling commuters to travel in and out the city with ease. London is only an hour away by rail, with services to London St Pancras every twenty minutes or so. 3 Economic Overview Leicester is the second largest economy in the East Midlands, with a GVA worth over £12.4bn as of 2017.
