Diane Jarvis:

“Sheffield BID is proud to be in its tenth year of operation in 2025. Over the past decade, city centre businesses have faced significant economic and environmental pressures that continue to shape the trading and working environment

"Through our unique governance model, Sheffield BID works in close partnership with Sheffield City Council and South Yorkshire Police to ensure that city centre businesses have a strong and equal voice in place management and resource deployment.

"Since our second ballot in early 2021, the world has changed dramatically. With one year remaining in our current term (until 31 March 2026), we remain focused on celebrating the diversity of our business community, attracting visitors, encouraging dwell time, and driving local economic spend. We continue to advocate for increased investment and support businesses in attracting and retaining talent.

"Looking ahead, Sheffield BID is exploring new innovations and experimental projects to meet the evolving needs of our city centre - ensuring it remains a vibrant, resilient, and welcoming place for all.”
