The BID exists to work on behalf of the business community for the success of the wider community, based on the principle that we can achieve more by working together to increase footfall, stimulate investment and enhance the Giffnock area both physically and by reputation.

The current BID committee are all volunteers who own or manage a business within the Giffnock Village area.

They will continue to manage the BID until a new committee is put in place, who will agree on the projects to be delivered to achieve the Giffnock Village business plan objectives and make the BID of benefit to all.
