The town’s leading letting agency is welcoming people to Bedford from its prime position at No 100 at the top of the new look High Street.

As the new wide-pavement street was unveiled, Leaders Letting and Estate Agency have boosted its welcome packs for tenants with Love Bedford gift vouchers.

Newcomers to the town this summer will receive a £5 gift voucher redeemable in more than 250 outlets that are part of the BedfordBID zone. BedfordBID represents businesses like Leaders and promotes the zone under the Love Bedford brand www.lovebedford.co.uk

Shaun Barnett Senior Branch Manager of Leaders said: “We have been working with individual businesses locally to give our new tenants a ‘good luck in your new home’ goodie box and having the link with Love Bedford will hopefully help them to find all the many great things to enjoy in the area.

“We’re very proud to be part of the community in Bedford and want people to see the best of our places and spaces.”

Leaders lets 100s of properties across the wider Borough of Bedford and to those who want the “city living” urban experience in town. 

“More than 25% of tenants are completely new to the area and so a warm welcome and introduction is vital to make them feel at home and get involved with the local community.”

Christina Rowe, Director of BedfordBID said: “Those living in the town are an important customer-base for our businesses Monday to Friday. They are often younger and looking for fashion and cafe society living. We signpost the way through the shop window of our website.”

Shaun is a new volunteer Board member of BedfordBID which includes representatives of various businesses in the town centre.
