Welcome to Albion BID 2

The Albion Business Improvement District (BID) is a public/private partnership which has enabled businesses located in a defined industrial area within West Bromwich (see below for details) to come together with the aim of improving  the business environment in which they operate.

Following a highly successful first five year term the businesses in the area voted in 2010 for a second term, called Albion BID2, to operate from 2011 through to 2016. Key to its continued success is the ability of the businesses within it to work towards a common set of objectives, supported by a range of partner organisations which includes West Midlands Police, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Business Watch and suppliers of security services. 

By working as a collective business community the aims of Albion BID2 are to continue to reduce crime, make further improvements to the trading environment and better enable members to promote their products at a local, national and global level.
