Medicash backs LCPD Bid

Sue Weir is the CEO of Medicash and one of a growing number of business leaders who have been appointed by LCDP as 'BID Ambassadors'.

Medicash has been providing first-class health plans to businesses and families for 140 years. With no shareholders, all profits made are re-invested into improving products and services for the benefit of members.

Sue Weir, says BID status will maintain commercial district momentum.

"When Liverpool CDP was first established, it was with a clear mandate to enhance an area of the city that had become largely neglected and forgotten. 

Four years later, the partnership, working closely with Liverpool Vision, has delivered a wide range of improvements which have combined to make the commercial district a more attractive, safe and business-friendly place to live and work.

I am firmly of the belief that it is in the best interests of all local employers to ensure that the work that has already been undertaken to regenerate the area can continue to deliver real and lasting benefits.

 Bid status has the potential to offer networking opportunities and a more business friendly trading environment.

In the current economic climate of public spending cuts and uncertainty around interest rates and inflation this is much needed and we could face serious consequences should we lose the momentum we have built so far.

BID status will give us a great opportunity to build on what has been achieved, allow businesses to have a say in what goes on in the area and ensure that the vitality and quality of the commercial district is maintained.
 Throughout the rest of the UK, 98% of Business Improvement Districts vote to continue to scheme after their first term which demonstrates their value to members. And there is no reason why Liverpool's Commercial District should be any different.
