Our vision
Our vision
For two decades, we have put
our 600 members at the
forefront of everything
we do.
We were set up by businesses
in the West End to achieve what
could not be accomplished by
one business or one
organisation alone.
Manifesto Commitments to our members
Working with our members and partners, our aim is to return the West End’s International Centre to 2019 levels of sustainable economic performance.
Our customers will benefit from excellence and convenience when they visit, with streets that are clean, safe and healthy with seamless digital and physical interactions.
We will lead campaigns and initiatives that support economic, environmental and social progress.
We will deliver cutting-edge data and insights around social, environmental and economic impact for our members that will allow them to make better informed, and more responsive, businesses.
Our ongoing commitment is to continue our relationship with you and deliver five further years of district transformation and progress.
