Worcester BID
Worcester Business Improvement District (BID) has been in operation since April 2010 and is a non-for-profit organisation with the aim of improving the trading conditions for the businesses who contribute a BID levy.
The BID is funded by 669 businesses within Worcester City Centre paying a levy based on their rateable value and we deliver either new projects or projects in addition to those statutorily provided by public agencies.
Worcester’s businesses voted in favour to fund the BID to make sure that Worcester remains the perfect place in which to shop, eat play and live all year round. Please visit the BID Projects and About Us pages for further information.
Malvern Cyber Security Cluster
We are a group of more than 45 small cyber security companies centered around Malvern in Worcestershire. We cooperate on a range of initiatives to grow our cyber security businesses, improve the cyber security of local enterprises, and also raise awareness of cyber security amongst young people.
It is free to join this cluster and, as long as you are actively working in the cyber security or information assurance markets, we would be very pleased to welcome you to this group.
If you are a company not working in cyber security but would like some advice on how you can improve your cyber security or on any specific issues, we would like to help you.
