The BID Board
The BID’s Board of Directors are formed by representatives from key organisations including the Mander Centre, Wulfrun Centre, Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, Genting Casino, T A Henn and Son Limited, Thornes Solicitors, Nationwide, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, West Midlands Police and City of Wolverhampton Council.
Our directors are the decision makers and driving force for everything the BID delivers.
