The Privilege Card is a 3-in-1 loyalty card concept unifying consumers, businesses and suppliers.

The concept is to promote local and independent businesses whilst offering consumers a nominal discount and/or value-added service at partner businesses.

Similarly, businesses will also benefit from increased consumer patronage and secure better rates with suppliers.

Sponsored by Matthew Clark, some of the local partners include: Audi Bristol, Mint Room, Rosemarino, Fraser Besant Lighting, Bristol Film Festival and others.

We have secured 100 complimentary business memberships of the Privilege Card for our BARBIE members ahead of a major marketing push, and these will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Relevant to businesses that are willing to offer a nominal discount to members.

The BARBIE Trade Show and Post-Xmas Party is now pegged for Monday, 13th January 2020.

We’ll be sending out more info regarding venue, specific timings and tickets over the next few months.

We’ll be addressing the Whiteladies Road Cumulative Impact Zone with view to starting an assessment within 7 days of that date.

We’ll also be providing updates on the NiteWatch Board we sit on alongside Bristol City Council and recapping what we’ve been up to regarding planning, licensing, pesky fines from 3GS, apprenticeships and work placement schemes, safety and other concerns.
