A Board for Business
The Love Wimbledon Board is made up of representatives of the Wimbledon Town Centre business community each bringing their own expertise whilst also representing our BID businesses with regards to sector, size and location within the town.
The Board meets quarterly to oversee the activity of the Executive Team. They provide strategic direction and approve and monitor the annual budget and delivery plan to improve Wimbledon for business. Board Directors are voted in for a four year term and are representatives of the local business community. We therefore ensure we have business leaders from different locations, sectors and sizes of organisations along with ex-officio positions for Merton Council and the Metropolitan Police.
All Board members are asked to declare any pecuniary or personal interests at each meeting and a detailed register of Board Directors personal interests is updated annually.
Love Wimbledon BID was one of the first BIDs to be accredited by The BID Foundation as having met the Industry Standards for transparency and good governance.
