About Cressex BID
The BID will generate around £1million of new investment into our business park between 2022 and 2027. This investment will be managed and delivered by a new business led partnership, who will be answerable to the wider business community who fund the BID. The BID began on the 1st October 2022.
Three Theme Plan
What the BID Will Deliver:
THEME ONE
Getting Cressex Moving: Improving transport and reducing congestion.
THEME TWO
Creating an attractive and secure environment for business.
THEME THREE
Supporting businesses and investing in employees.
Mission Statement
To get Cressex moving, creating an attractive and secure environment for business and to develop an enhanced location for the benefit of business, our employees and local stakeholders.
Through doing this we will attract new inward investment, reduce barriers to employees choosing to work on Cressex and create a sustainable and prosperous business park.
We want to ensure Cressex is the business park location of choice for both employers and employees across the Thames Valley, supported by a joined up business community and our wider stakeholders across Buckinghamshire.
Our Vision
Our vision is for Cressex Business Park to become the greenest, cleanest and safest environment for business. A premier location, home to a diverse and successful business community, that provides high value employment for the local community and where businesses lead and shape the development of our business park into 2027 and beyond.

Quotes from Businesses on Cressex Park
“The opportunity to create a stronger and supported business community on Cressex Business Park cannot be missed. I will be voting in favour of this proposal for a BID. As a business community we are stronger together, and the BID is our only chance to deliver on the vision set out in this proposal creating a better Cressex Business Park.”
Justin Fielder –MD @ Temple Island Collection
“Congestion and traffic queues have become synonymous with Cressex Business Park as the site has grown and new developments created on the approach to Cressex. The status quo of accepting the challenges linked to congestion is no long acceptable. As a business community we need to support the BID, which is our only hope to enable us to make the case for additional investment, ensure our voice is heard and deliver additional funding into and around Cressex Business Park to create efficient and sustainable routes to work for our employees.”
Emma Grey – MD of Mediplus
“I have really valued being able to support the development of this BID for Cressex Business Park. There are a host of issues my management team want to see resolved across the business park, and the BID is the only solution that enables businesses to take a sustainable lead in shaping the future development of Cressex. That is why I will be voting yes to approve the BID.”
