Tiverton and Blundell’s School has been linked for over four hundred years
Blundell’s prides itself on using local business wherever possible. In fact, in recent years 45% of all goods and services were from Devon with 53% from the South West and we are committed to building on this. There are so many excellent local, home grown businesses in our town, and it seems only right that they receive our full support wherever possible.
Blundell’s would like to thank our local independent businesses for all that they do and hope that the Loyalty Card will help, especially after the difficulties we have all experienced throughout the pandemic. Cards will be available to all members of the Blundell’s Community, past and present. If you would like a Loyalty Card please contact, Charlie Olive, Director of Community Partnerships on loyaltycard@blundells.org
If you are a local trader and would like to join the Loyalty Card Scheme please complete this form.
On the ‘Seal of the town of Tiverton’ there is a wool sack which signifies the links with Tiverton and the wool trade. Peter Blundell was a prosperous clothier relying on local wool for his trade.
