THE Ilkley BID board has welcomed the appointment of Felicity Gains as manager. She takes over from Helen Rhodes, who has been leading the BID since its beginning in 2019.
Felicity brings a wealth of experience including commercial event management and project management. She said: “I am looking forward to supporting Ilkley businesses and working with all stakeholders to achieve the best results we can to support the local economy. Following what has no doubt been a difficult year for many due to COVID-19 restrictions, I am eager to join the team, helping to re-energize businesses and drive the public back to our streets when it is safe to do so.”
