Sara Homer, BID executive chair for Brackmills, said: “What a difference a decade makes. Back in 2009, we asked businesses to vote for BID status and tell us what mattered most to them.

“We took this feedback, ran projects, invested funding and the estate has since transformed from a crime-ridden, unkempt estate to one that is safe, secure, vibrant and a location of choice for businesses big and small.

“It’s now time for businesses to have their say again and shape the next five years, so we can make plans for the estate’s future and ensure Brackmills remains one of the UK’s premier logistics and transport hubs.”
