ABOUT ENNISKILLEN BID

Experience Enniskillen is an ongoing project from BID. A Business Improvement District is an initiative where businesses come together to decide what improvements are needed in their area, above and beyond those governed by statutory provision. This additionality will ensure that the direction of improvements will be identified by the businesses themselves led by a Task Team.

A Business Improvement District (BID) for Enniskillen is where local businesses work together collectively to improve the area in which they trade. Enniskillen BID Ltd was established during December 2016 following a successful BID Ballot which allowed Enniskillen to become a BID Area. The BID will raise funds through a levy which will be used to deliver the projects and initiatives which are set out in the Enniskillen BID Business Plan. Enniskillen BID have three themes which will work to benefit every business and sector in the BID area.

Boost Business

Entice Customers

Will promote the towns attributes to key markets. The BID will do this through professional sustainable branding and marketing campaigns, utilising on line technology and social media.

Enhance Experience

Will work to improve the townscape and accessibility into and around Enniskillen

What is the aim of Enniskillen BID?

The ultimate aim of BID is to increase footfall and improve trading in the island town of Enniskillen.

The BID will actively work to generate additional income such as grants and commercial sponsorship.
