Sandyford Back the BID Logo

Since January 2017, the Sandyford BID CLG trading as Sandyford Business District has been representing the interests of businesses in the four business parks which comprise Sandyford Business District. Established under the Local Government (Business Improvements Districts) Act 2006, the company operates an executive office to implement the vision of the company. Since its inception, one of the most important roles is providing a strong unified voice at local and national government level on behalf of all businesses to ensure that their concerns and opportunities are addressed. In addition, there has been significant progress in placemaking, mobility, business attraction and promoting a positive business culture.

We encourage you to find out more about the work of the district...

Attending the launch of Sandyford Business District’s Back the BID campaign recently were Chair of the SBD Plebiscite Committee, Gerard O’Farrell with Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills, Josepha Madigan TD and Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Ossian Smyth TD.

Sandyford Business District is currently seeking a renewal of its Business Improvement District mandate for a further five year period.

Since the BID was established, Sandyford Business District has evolved from an Industrial Estate into a sustainable mixed-use district where employers, retailers and residents
co-exist to work, live and spend leisure time.

In our first 5 years we have made a significant positive impact on the district’s infrastructure, mobility, public realm, environment and wayfinding while also providing a unified voice
advocating for businesses. To learn more about our work and our vision for the next 5 years go to: https://tinyurl.com/uh9hp2t7
