Get involved

On behalf of the BID Steering Group we now invite business representatives to nominate
themselves for a place on the new BID company Board.

 

Whatever the size of your business, or whether you are the owner of Galashiels businesses or a manager of a ‘multiple’ business (with its headquarters elsewhere in the UK) we want to hear from you. You should share the BID’s vision for a vibrant Galashiels and be willing and able to participate in the process of ensuring that the town thrives and grows over the coming years.

 

There is a lot of work to be done, and a seat on the BID Board will by no means be an honorary
position. You will be required to participate; to regularly attend Board Meetings (a minimum of 6
per year) and to be involved in aspects of delivering the BID Business Plan. You, and fellow Board
members will be representing all of the businesses located in the BID area. It will require a
willingness to work closely with the BID Management team who will be delivering the projects and services on behalf of the BID.

 

If more nominations are received than the allocated number of places (by category) then a
meeting will be held where those wishing to be stand as Directors can briefly present their case
to those in attendance and a vote will then take place. If insufficient nominations are forthcoming,
then the Board will have the right to co-opt eligible persons onto the board.

 

Should you require more details on the responsibilities involved with being a BID Board Director,
please feel free to contact Mags Fenner, BID Project Co-ordinator on 07939 589740 or
manager@bidforgalashiels.com
Or either of the Steering Group Chairs (Lewis Roden – 07900680695, Debbie Paterson –
07584133398)

 

We look forward to receiving your nomination and application to join the new BID Company.

 

Please take the time to complete the form, secure a ‘proposer’ for your nomination and return it
no later than 17 January 2025.
