Colmore BID unveils new-look board

A business improvement district in Birmingham has added four new faces to its board.

Colmore BID has recruited Kate Bailey, Rosie Ginday, Tim Hall and Victoria Osgood to the body which works to improve the central business area around Colmore Row.

Ms Bailey is a legal director at law firm Squire Patton Boggs and has worked in its Birmingham office since 2008.

She is an experienced pension lawyer, advising sponsoring employers and trustees of pension schemes on a wide variety of issues including governance, legislative compliance and benefit change projects.

Ms Ginday is the founder of Miss Macaroon, one of Birmingham's most well-known social enterprise companies which manufactures and sells macaroons and also runs a shop in the Great Western Arcade in Colmore Row.

Since setting up the business in 2011, she has achieved a wide range of accolades including receiving an MBE.

Mr Hall has worked for recruitment agency Hays since 2000 and he is currently a director specialising in finance appointments for local businesses.

He sits on the Midlands Shared Service Forum committee and has been actively involved with Colmore BID since 2018.

Completing the new appointment, Ms Osgood works for HS2 as a business engagement manager and was previously a patron manager with Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce.

The board is responsible for the running of the BID and setting the direction and strategy of both the organisation and the Colmore business district.

It is chaired by Nicola Fleet-Milne, the owner of residential property agency FleetMilne, and consists of seven business leaders from a range of organisations and four public sector partners.

Ms Fleet-Milne said: "Colmore BID is committed to the development of Birmingham's business district, be that through work in the public realm, supporting those who work here or by attracting visitors to frequent its bustling hospitality venues.

"To do this, it's vital our board of directors and working groups represent the diversity of the businesses that call Colmore home.

"Kate, Rosie, Tim and Vicky were well and truly put through their paces as part of the recruitment process but passed with flying colours.

"I'm sure they will make great additions to the team and I look forward to working with them more closely over the coming months."
