Better Business
Better Business is an initiative to help businesses thrive whilst creating a positive impact on Bristol and the people who live here.
Better Business can help by amplifying businesses’ voices, encouraging collaboration, creating new relationships, strengthening old ones, celebrating business in the city, making staff happier and finding ways that as a community we help solve some of the city’s problems.
The Better Business network helps us to fund impactful social and environmental projects, like our Young Chefs initiative in partnership with Square Food Foundation, and host events to bring businesses together under a shared goal of making our city better for everybody.
Our Better Bristol launch event was held at the Colston Hall on 7th November 2018 with over 350 people from businesses across the city joining us to find out how we can collaborate to make positive change in Bristol. Since then our membership has grown to over 60 businesses across the city, supporting more than 100 partnerships focused on social impact, helped local charities access over £10,000 of free marketing and has given us the capacity to provide 16 free places to train young people in professional kitchens.
We bring businesses and the wider community together in a range of events across the city, including the recent celebration event at Bambalan.
To find out how Better Business can support your business while having a meaningful impact on the city see our brochure below or read our media pack to discover Better Business membership benefits.
