Today sees the launch of the highly anticipated BuyBrent app, right here in our beautiful borough. A world-class platform that puts exclusive local rewards, offers, discounts and more - in the palm of your hand.

Download the exclusive local rewards app today to unlock offers from almost 100 businesses and retailers across the borough.

Designed by Bubltown, on behalf of Brent Council, its aim is to reignite the borough’s local love affair and support independent traders. The technology behind BuyBrent is a brand new multi-million-pound innovation and the council is proud to be pioneering its’ first launch on English soil.

The free app connects local traders with the local community making it quick and easy for people to find great products and services nearby.

It is also jam-packed with exclusive in-store discounts including:

  • For one day only - pick up a free coffee from XOXO in Willesden Green or Rubio in Harlesden on 21 October 2021.

  • 2 for 1 tickets at the Kiln Cinema in Kilburn until February 2022.

Find your way around

Getting lost is a thing of the past with interactive maps and wayfinding. Get directions, travel times and transport recommendations for any local business, event, or attraction you wish to visit.

…and a whole lot more!

You’ll also be able to buy a number of local goods within the app for collection or delivery and book reservations and appointments.

Cllr Shama Tatler, Lead Member for Regeneration, Property & Planning at Brent Council said:

“We are thrilled to launch our brilliant new BuyBrent app. It’s been a tough time for our independent businesses and this cutting-edge platform will help to raise their profiles and extend their reach.

“Local people will also have access to a host of exclusive discounts and offers available across the borough. So don't delay - download the free app today.

“We would love to know about any local gems you discover via the app so please do tag us in your posts on social media and include #BuyBrent and #LocalLoveAffair.

“Loving local has never been so easy!”

Ben Phillips, Public Partnerships Director at bubltown said:

“We’ve built a world-class technology, but it takes a visionary organisation to take the first step.

“From start to finish, Brent Council has been utterly single-minded in their objective to improve the lives of local businesses, residents, and visitors. We’re so proud to be a part of that journey.”

Download BuyBrent from the App Store or Google Play Store today.

Residents who don’t own a smartphone can email business@brent.gov.uk or speak to a member of staff at one of Brent Council’s hubs or libraries to receive a physical rewards card.
