Board Director
About Us
What is a BID? A BID is a geographically defined area, where businesses come together and agree to invest collectively in projects and services that the businesses believe will improve their trading environment.
Falkirk Delivers was voted for by the businesses in Falkirk town centre with the aim of managing the BID and of making Falkirk town centre a better place to visit, shop, work and invest.
We are led by a board of directors from Falkirk town centre businesses with representatives from retail, hospitality, media, transport, and financial services as well as the Falkirk Council.
If you are a business within the BID area and would like to know more about your BID, please visit the Business Section of this website.

What We Do
Taking Pride in Falkirk
In terms of cleanliness, we are a member of Keep Scotland Beautiful and provide floral enhancement for the Town Centre. We employ a Town Centre Handyman to keep the Town Centre clean and tidy.
Additionally, in terms of safety, Falkirk Delivers has ensured that visitors have a safe and friendly experience whilst enjoying the night life in Falkirk. We provide a Taxi Marshal service to ensure people are helped safely on their way home. We also have a Safebase Initiative which is primarily for the night-time economy; it provides a SafeZone and first aid element should anyone become distressed or injured.
Through these projects and more, Falkirk Delivers aims to inspire local businesses, residents and visitors alike to take a pride in Falkirk – one of the leading town centres in Scotland.

Attracting Visitors
We work closely with VisitFalkirk, VisitScotland and Forth Environment Link to encourage tourists to visit the town centre. Creating links between our world-renowned Visitor attractions the Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies and Helix Park, we promote Falkirk Town Centre as part of the tourist experience. A key project was the provision of the bus that linked the attractions to the Town Centre.
