Bristol City Centre BID

THE CHALLENGE

Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District is a not-for-profit organisation, working to make Bristol a better place for those who live, work and study in the city. Bristol City Centre BID originated in 2017 with an aim to ensure that the city centre becomes increasingly known for its safe, attractive and welcoming look and feel by all those who experience Bristol.

Bristol City Centre BID have partnered with M.R.S. Communications to refresh and improve their existing radio system. The BID wanted a radio provider who could also assist with invoicing all the radio members on their behalf.

This new radio system would need to be up-to-date to ensure that Bristol City Centre BID were receiving high quality digital equipment to replace their current system. In order to meet the BID’s aim of increasing safety within the area, the system would need to be reliable, secure and offer instant dialog in order to allow easy communication between businesses and the police.

THE SOLUTION

M.R.S. installed an effective and updated radio communication system in Bristol City Centre BID. The decision was also made to install a command and control computer which is located at the CCTV hub. This addition to the system would further enhance the ability to monitor and control crime and safety within the area.

Finally, M.R.S. Communication’s experienced accounts team undertook collection of the radio fees and organised invoicing on behalf of Bristol City Centre BID. M.R.S. ensured that prompt payment was made from all the members to the BID, and this fast payment processing resulted in a constant revenue stream for the BID.

With M.R.S’ expert knowledge in recommending the best type of radio communication system that would connect all of day- and night-time economy, the police, and CCTV, Bristol City Centre BID benefited hugely from their updated radio communication system. A growing number of members using the system, and more joining regularly, Bristol City Centre BID continues to increase in numbers. The safety of the city shows the area as more attractive and welcoming to Bristol residents and tourists alike, achieving all three of the BID’s main objectives.
