The town council is represented by town clerk, David Pooley and the Chamber of Commerce by Mark Lewis of Lewis Estate Agents.
At a subsequent board meeting, John Kneller was elected chair and Ameena Williams vice chair.
Kneller said: “We’ve made a lot of progress over the past year, and we’re now excited to move forward with some fantastic new initiatives that will deliver genuine value to BID levy payers and help towards delivering improvements to our town centre for everybody.”
Meanwhile, St Austell BID is looking for a new manager, after the announcement that Carl Lamb is moving to a new role as manager of the St Ives BID.
