PROJECTS

Brilliant Brighton


We currently deliver the business plan for the Brilliant Brighton Business Improvement District. 


Since 2015, Forbes Stewart Ltd has held the contract to provide management support for one of the South Coast's most prestigious Business Improvement Districts - Brilliant Brighton 

During that time we have delivered the Brighton city centre Christmas lighting scheme, dressed the city during the summer months and coordinated the city centre Ambassadors - all contributing to make Brighton city centre the place to be. 

We have also worked with Brilliant Brighton to get them through two renewal ballots.  At the last vote, 82.5% of businesses that voted, voted in favour of renewing the business plan.  Since 2021, we have added in Street Cleansing and Events to our repertoir of activity to support city centre businesses. 

Brighton & Hove Economic Partnership


We are proud to supply the management function for the Brighton & Hove Economic Partnerhsip. (BHEP)


The BHEP is tasked to write the Economic Strategy for the city in partnership with the city council.

To do that, it pulls on the collective strength of the 60+ strategic members from all walks of the city's economic life. 


Brighton & Hove's Economy is worth around £7.1bn.  And the BHEP membership makes up the wealth creators and job creators of that economy. 

We also feed into wider regional discussions around economic development through the Greater Brighton Economic Board and Coast to Capital LEP.

Consultation, Survey and Support


Forbes Stewart also works with partners on small scale projects and bespoke pieces of work to support numerous areas of activity.

We sit on a number of local strategic bodies and groups to share knowledge and help sense check.
