Delivering Differently

Having placed more than 300 young people into employment, education and training, the average cost per ‘post’ is c£400. This compares favourably with similar government schemes, some of which can cost up to £14,000 per placement.

Newcastle City Marina

Newcastle City Marina was built in 2011.  The facility was delivered in a timespan of only six months, from conception to completion and has been responsible for a transformation of Newcastle’s Quayside. The 132m pontoon regularly hosts visiting yacht crews from Europe, round the UK sailors and locals – all keen to berth their vessels in the heart of a busy city centre. Capital investment by the BID was a modest £125k (before other grants) and there has been a 5x ROI in terms of additional spending since opening. The Marina has created a strong additional element to the city’s offer to attract business and tourism.
