Working in Leam
Outside of London, Royal Leamington Spa is amongst the top ten regional centres of wealth and tourism in the UK. Unsurprisingly this perpetuates growth for businesses in the town and its surrounding area.
BID Leamington
In 2008, local businesses and property owners voted to establish a Business Improvement District (BID) within Royal Leamington Spa. Since then, BID Leamington has made excellent progress in delivering services and projects, agreed by the BID Board and its partners, which increase the appeal of the town and improve trading conditions.
BID Leamington encourages new business initiatives and supports organisations wishing to move to the town. If you are thinking of starting a business in Royal Leamington Spa, BID Leamington would be delighted to hear your ideas, advise you on suitable locations and share how the team can support your new venture.
Please contact BID Leamington to arrange a meeting.
