The North Notts Business Improvement District (BID) is inviting some of the owners of businesses within its levy-paying area to apply to join its private sector board.
The BID is due to start a second term in September and is looking for fresh talent to help it deliver on its next five-year business plan – the closing date for applications is August 26.
BID chairman George Buchanan said they were looking for dynamic and committed business owners to support the chief executive and wider BID team in helping the local business community.
He said: “We welcome board applications from a diverse selection of levy-paying businesses, covering all industry sectors across our four key towns: Retford, Worksop, Harworth and Tuxford.
“We are looking for BID members that are passionate about the area and are committed to the BID’s aims to secure, strengthen and showcase the region. The board is pivotal to providing a balanced representation of our levy payers, gauging the current sentiment and challenges felt by our business community.
“Board directors provide impartial input, enabling better strategic decision making by the executive team, which will act in the best interests of local businesses and align with the BID’s business plans.”
North Notts BID is business-led and managed and is accountable to its private sector board, which oversees the finances, governance, decision-making and delivery of projects as outlined in its business plan.
The board consists of non-executive directors along with two observers - Rick Brand, who chairs Retford Business Forum, and Philip Jackson, who chairs Worksop Business Forum.
