BRADFORD’S evening and night-time economy has taken a significant step forward with the appointment of its first co-ordinator. Elizabeth Murphy has been appointed by the city’s Business Improvement District (BID) to work with hospitality and leisure businesses to help build a “rich, vibrant and successful” offer in the city centre. Ms Murphy, who is experienced in place management, working with both BIDs and local authorities, started the new role today.
Bradford BID chairman Ian Ward said: “The development of Bradford city centre is at a pivotal time. “We are on the cusp of some major developments, such as the opening of the NEC Bradford Live Arena in late 2022, that have the potential to significantly increase footfall. In 2019 the accounting firm PWC and think tank Demos indicated that Bradford is the most improved place in the UK to live and work, with jobs and work-life balance highlighted in a report.
