Biography

Andrew is Chief Executive of LeedsBID (Leeds Business Improvement District) – the largest multi-sector BID outside London – a position he has held since its inception in April 2015.

LeedsBID has recently been voted in for a third term after a resounding endorsement from businesses in Leeds city centre – its Chapter 3 to run from April 2025-March 2030 will see the BID invest £18.5m back into the city centre through an array of projects, events, and activities.

With a strong background in business, retail and ESG, Andrew has extensive experience in place management and a knowledge of the important work of BIDs in the UK. Prior to arriving in Leeds, he was Chief Executive of the Bath BID for eight years and credited with putting Bath on the map through a host of high-profile business events, including Bath in Fashion and the Great Bath Feast, which both won awards. Andrew secured over £4m of economic investment in the UNESCO World Heritage city.
Andrew also served as the inaugural chair of the BID Foundation and supported the High Street Task Force as an expert. Andrew is a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Place Management.
