Gavin Stewart
BHEP Executive Director
CEO Brilliant Brighton
Director: Forbes Stewart Ltd
Gavin Stewart runs his own Management Consultancy, Forbes Stewart Ltd (FSLtd). FSLtd currently holds two major contracts, one is to deliver the Brighton & Hove Economic Partnership, and the other is to run the city’s only Business Improvement District, Brilliant Brighton; a group of 517 retail and leisure sector businesses which invest £2m to support the economic success of Brighton City Centre. FSLtd also provides small project support to Brighton & Hove City Council, largely around Town Centre Management initiatives.
As well as this he is a visiting lecturer for the University of Brighton and sits on the Management boards for British BIDs, The Brighton Business Crime Reduction Partnership, The Brighton & Hove Transport Partnership, the Learning and Skills Partnership and Brighton & Hove Connected amongst others.
Gavin says. “There’s a lot to love about Brighton & Hove, but there’s also a lot that needs to be done to create a stronger economy that will benefit everyone in our community. From housing and skills, to transport and IT; it’s imperative that the private, public and third sectors all work in partnership to build a city fit for the future. I’m excited to be a part of that debate; helping to put the strategic thinking in to real life projects that can mean real change for our myriad businesses and residents.”
