Stakehill BID Survey

Stakehill BID is currently in the process of contacting businesses on the estate to complete a survey so we can ascertain helpful insights enabling us to implement change on the Estate. If you would prefer to complete and return the survey to us via email, you are welcome to download the forms below.

Working together with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) we are interested to find out how people travel to work, and how we can improve your experience, health and air quality.

The Employee survey also contains a link to a separate travel survey from TfGM. Completion of this survey will earn you entry into a draw to win £100 of shopping vouchers courtesy of Transport for Greater Manchester.

Employees

We would be grateful if you could circulate this link to all your workforce for them to spend a few moments completing this questionnaire.

Once completed please ask them to email to info@stakehillbid.com.

We will provide your businesses with a summary report of the findings from across the estate which will help you in your recovery planning.

Stakehill BID has pulled together a number of national suppliers of PPE to help with this task.
