The future looks bright for Discover Fulham Discover Fulham has recently begun their new five-year BID period under the watchful eye of local businessman Joel James who has stepped up to the role of Chair of the BID. An insurance broker by trade with his own business Woodfords Insurance Brokers, Joel has been part of the BID board for the past two and a half years. Speaking to Let’s Talk Business Joel said “It has been an exciting few years working with the BID, coming off the back of the pandemic and into what was a successful ballot, securing our future for the next five years. We are in the process of extending the number of Directors on the board with the aim being that we have most sectors of business represented to make sure that
the BID’s activity brings a benefit to as many businesses as possible. It has been a difficult time for most, with the cost-of-living crisis hitting people hard. Businesses are suffering and we have seen a number of businesses close over the past few months. The good news is that we are seeing new businesses come into the area, and we hope the BID can support them to become thriving businesses in our community. As a board we are exploring the possibility of introducing an advisory board, who will be able to support us with an external view as we look to work with the local authority to fill the remaining vacant units in the area, and make Fulham a great place to live, work and do business.
