MANAGING TOWN CENTRE NEEDS
We are the dedicated voice for raising local business issues.
The BID supports business promotion and making the most of opportunities in Stirling.
MANAGE
Free Training
We subsidise the cost of online CPD accredited training and signpost businesses to free training opportunities.
Free Public Wi-Fi
We are responsible for the availability of public Wi-Fi in the city centre. The Wi-Fi service has marketing opportunities for businesses.
Footfall Monitoring
Footfall monitoring devices collect a wealth of data for the town. This helps to inform decisions aimed at improving the town and allow us to assess the impact of any campaigns or initiatives.
Street Ambassadors
Our team of Ambassadors patrol the city to liaise with businesses and provide information and advice to visitors, residents and workers. They also help audit the city and keep on top of adverse issues such as littering, faulty streetlights and graffiti.
Lobbying & Community Engagement
We know there are several city centre issues that our members would like to see resolved. Our commitment is to continue to manage these concerns and lobby for support from the necessary organisations.
Business Support & Signposting
Our team is always ready to offer advice to our members, signpost them to sources of useful information & refer them to the right contacts.
Business Marketing
Go Forth helps businesses to amplify their messages and promotes them whenever possible. We have a dedicated B2C brand that’s all about promoting and celebrating Stirling’s independent businesses.
Joint Procurement & Cost Savings
We have engaged Eyebright Utilities to work with businesses in the BID zone to secure the best costs for utilities, water and telecoms. We are also members of a working group that promotes circular economy.
