What does it take to make Croydon thrive as a business destination? We sat down with Matthew Sims, Chief Executive of Croydon BID, to find out.

Matthew leads the Business Improvement District that's reshaping Croydon's economic narrative. He's at the heart of initiatives that bring together local businesses, create opportunity, and challenge the old assumptions about what Croydon can be. This is the conversation about the practical work of building a town that works for everyone.

Discover what's really happening in Croydon's business landscape. How local collaboration drives real change. Why representation and visibility matter for a town's future. The role of BID in supporting businesses beyond the headline. Matthew's vision for Croydon as a serious business hub.

We live in a moment where the stories we tell about our towns shape their futures. Matthew's work reminds us that Croydon's story isn't something that happens to us; it's something we build together. If you care about where Croydon is heading, this conversation will shift how you think about what's possible.
