Manchester BID:
Business Improvement District

Manchester BID is the city’s Business Improvement District managed by The City Centre Management Company CityCo. We connect people, projects and ideas, and bring member businesses together with public agencies to support the city centre economy.

As we reopen Manchester city centre over the summer, we want to make sure that CityCo and BID members are fully aware that our team is here to help.

We are in daily liaison with Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Police, Transport for Greater Manchester, Marketing Manchester and other bodies, to ensure business interests are represented and we will ensure relevant intelligence is shared. We are here to guide you via our communications, online briefings, operational assistance and security guidance.

Our virtual concierge service is here for members and we’re the best-placed organisation to find out whatever it is you need to know.
