BID Meet The Board

The Board of Directors is made up of business leaders from member organisations who sit alongside stakeholders from other relevant bodies such as the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Transport for London and the Metropolitan Police.

Board Directors, observers and members of our Theme Groups volunteer their time, experience and expertise to provide strategic direction to Be Richmond. If you are interested in joining them to help shape our programmes, please get in touch.

About Richmond

Richmond is an affluent residential district bordering the River Thames. Tranquil Kew Gardens attracts botanical enthusiasts and families with its huge Arboretum, 17th-century Kew Palace, and panoramic views from its Treetop Walkway. Herds of deer roam Richmond Park, a popular picnic spot. The Quadrant main street and nearby roads have eclectic shops, casual and upscale dining, and performances at Richmond Theatre.
