BARP partners with Guardsman to offer members discounts on electronic security services, providing peace of mind and affordability. Guardsman commits to safety and quality services, including free educational sessions for members.
The Barbados Association of Retired Persons (BARP) and Guardsman (Barbados) Limited are partnering to offer BARP members discounts on electronic security services.
The initiative has been welcomed by the association and president Marilyn Rice-Bowen who said the discount partnership puts the cost of the security system in reach of members, especially those who live alone and on a fixed income.
“This partnership gives peace of mind to our members, as they can rest easier knowing their life, the lives of their family members, along with their property, are all protected,” she said.
Omar Estwick, general manager – finance, international markets at Guardsman, said the company is happy to be associated with BARP as a security services partner. He explained that they will be offering members on presentation of their valid BARP card, a discount on monthly service, installations and devices.
“In keeping with BARP’s vision of existing in a society where people live in safety and security, we (Guardsman) are committed to playing our part, Estwick added. “We value the safety of Barbadians and continue to provide high quality and effective electronic security systems and services, including 24-hour monitoring and response.
“This partnership is more than us being a discount partner, as it is in keeping with the Giveback 20 initiatives we launched this year, in recognition of our 20th anniversary of operations in Barbados. Our team will also be facilitating free Robbery Prevention Awareness and Response sessions for BARP members via Zoom, and we encourage them to take advantage by participating,” said Hurtado Mitchell, general manager – operations at Guardsman.
Rice-Bowen welcomed the sessions and said: “These fall right into our educational campaigns and we look forward to hosting them with Guardsman as well.”
Guardsman also confirmed its sponsorship of BARP’s ‘Platinum Soca’ at the Barbados Yacht Club on July 27, as security services provider. (PR)
