      Rachael Miller

      Business Host

      Hi, I’m Rachael, I’ve worked in Solihull for the past five years in retail including in the lovely Touchwood. I have loved being a new member of the BID, working alongside a great team. I am constantly learning and embracing new challenges working with the Solihull business community and all that the town centre has to offer.

      Being a Business Host means I have the opportunity to be hands on and face to face with the local community and BID businesses. I am looking forward to building a great working relationship with the whole of the town centre.

      Outside of work, I’m a Mom so I’m hands on and love to get involved! Music is my go to and I love to dance. My motto is ‘there is always tomorrow to make a better today’. Always remember to smile – it can make someone’s day!

      Misty

      Well Being Coordinator

      I am Misty, I have a nominated role as the Well Being Coordinator for the BID team and relevant visitors. It’s a tough job but the extra biscuits and occasional cheese and ham sandwiches make it more bearable.

      I enjoy long country walks, annoying small fluffy dogs, and love my collection of designer collars. Feel free to contact me on my Instagram account @MistySolihullBID or email my housemate below.
