Leadership update: Welcoming Anna Farthing to Bristol BID

We are delighted to welcome Anna Farthing to the Bristol BID team as Interim Head of Place

26/08/2025

With a new chapter ahead for both the city and our BID team, we’re sharing a key leadership update that supports continuity and long-term vision.

Director of Bristol City Centre BID, Vicky Lee, will soon begin maternity leave. We’re wishing her every happiness as she takes this next step with her growing family. In Vicky’s absence, we’re pleased to welcome Anna Farthing as the Interim Head of Place for Bristol BID from 1 September 2025.

Anna is a nationally respected cultural leader, with over 25 years of experience in place-based strategy, public engagement and creative regeneration. Anna will lead the BID marketing and events teams to deliver all ongoing projects, ensuring continuity of service for our levy payers. Her focus will be on maintaining momentum across current priorities, while also preparing for the unification of the BIDs and future delivery of Bristol BID’s place making projects.

This transition marks a thoughtful, strategic step towards maintaining a coordinated voice for Bristol’s business community.

Please join us in wishing Vicky the best of luck and welcoming Anna to the role.
