Derby City Centre has welcomed over thirty new businesses since May, according to the latest report from the city’s two Business Improvement Districts (BIDs).
New cafés, bars and restaurants and a range of other independent shops are now trading within the Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) and the St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) areas.
Brad Worley, BID Manager for Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter, said: “We are delighted to announce this news, and we want to celebrate the fact that Derby has welcomed so many new businesses trading in the city.
“Since May, more than 30 businesses have set up and we would like to officially welcome these entrepreneurs our two BID areas. We are also working with a handful of other businesses who are preparing to open before the end of the year.
“We still have empty units in and around Derby, but the findings from our new report are hugely positive. Like every other city across the UK, there are challenges when it comes to city centre trading, but we are determined to strengthen the quality of our city centre streets.”
