The SUA BID Board is made up of solely Levy-Paying businesses, representing a cross-section of businesses within the SUA BID Area.

The Board provide strong governance, strategic direction and oversee the delivery of the BID Business Plan.

All Directors are volunteers and do not receive any remuneration for their position. Board Directors serve for a period of 3 years and thereafter the position comes up for election at the next Annual General Meeting (AGM). As this is a new policy, and to keep continuity on the Board, the 3 longest serving Board Directors will step down at each AGM. Directors can get re-elected back onto the Board but only through the election process; this will make sure there is a way for new Board Directors to join the Board.

The recruitment process considers sector representation, skills and abilities of potential Board Directors to fill skill gaps and geographical split within the BID Area. Candidates are interviewed to make sure they understand what they are taking on, and to ensure the best possible fit for the Company. Once this has been done, recommendations will then be given to the Board. Once the candidates have been recommended, a vote takes place and all Members in attendance at the AGM meeting can vote on shortlisted candidates; the strongest candidate is appointed to each Board position. Board Director positions that become available between AGM meetings follow the same recruitment process, but the candidates are voted for by the existing Board Directors, not all members. Company updates are communicated regularly through the weekly e-newsletter and at our Annual General Meeting.

A Register of all Pecuniary and Personal Interests

When appointed, all Directors are requested to complete a Related Party Form, detailing information on other Directorships, personal interests and family business interests.  This is to ensure complete transparency when discussing issues relating to the BID or the Business Plan and procurement of contracts.

The Register of all Pecuniary and Personal Interest is a standing Board Agenda item, and the Chair ensures that all Directors update this regularly, declaring any new interests at each meeting they attend.

Details of Board Directors are shared at our AGM, through our Company Audit and in our ‘Annual Report’ which can be found on the Governance and Legal Documents page on this website.

Should any Levy-Paying business wish to see this Register, they can make their request through our enquiry email: admin@stratforduponavonbid.co.uk
