We’re delighted to welcome Chris Millington to the Kidderminster BID team! 🌟 Chris will be working closely with our outreach team, bringing fresh ideas and energy to help re-energise the high street. From supporting street clean-ups to introducing more greenery and gardening projects, Chris is passionate about creating a more vibrant, welcoming town centre for everyone. A big part of his work will be linking in with The Local Gardener Initiative UK, helping us bring more colour, plants, and green spaces into Kidderminster. These projects will not only improve the look of the town but also create spaces that the community and visitors can really enjoy. 🌱🌸 His focus will be on initiatives that make a real difference to both the community and local businesses – helping Kidderminster not only look better but feel better too. We’re really excited to have Chris on board and can’t wait to see the positive impact of his work across the town. 🙌 Next time you spot him out and about, say hello – he’s here to make Kidderminster shine even brighter! ✨ #kidderminster #worcestershire #community #highstreet #localbusiness #CleanerSaferGreener #gardening
