Skipton BID’s Board, chaired by Andrew Mear, is responsible for the efficient running of the company and for setting the direction and strategy for the BID.
He said: "Skipton BID is committed to supporting the businesses in the town, be that through promotional activities to attract visitors, offering a safer business environment or improving the overall attractiveness of Skipton. To do this, it’s essential that our board of directors represent the diversity of the businesses that call Skipton home.
"Skipton BID is in year four of its third term. The new directors will bring diversity to the board and with their wealth of knowledge and experience generate new innovative ideas to allow the BID to fulfil their objectives."
