Our Governance

  • The Knightsbridge Partnership is a Business Improvement District; a business led organisation set up to improve the commercial wellbeing of Knightsbridge. West Central BIDs is a company limited by guarantee within which the Knightsbridge Partnership Occupier BID, Knightsbridge Partnership Property BID and the King’s Road Partnership operate. Both the Knightsbridge Partnership and King’s Road Partnership have their own individual Management Boards which oversee the operational work of the BIDs.

    The West Central BIDs Board has the primary responsibility to oversee the conduct and performance of the Company and support each individual BID, its management and staff, who are responsible for the day-to-day activities. In performing its functions, the Board primarily considers the interests of the Company to which its fiduciary duty is owed and then to its members. It also considers the legitimate interests of wider stakeholders such as statutory authorities, employees, suppliers, visitors and residents.

    The directors are stewards of the Company. In supervising the conduct of the individual BIDs, the Board, through its Chief Executive, will set the standards for the organisation.
