In 2010 Bullivant launched a part paid-for weekly newspaper in Birmingham. Called the ''Birmingham Press'', and accompanied by a free edition, ''The Birmingham Free Press'', it was intended to rival Trinity Mirror's ''Birmingham Post'', but after only a few months the paper went into liquidation with total debts of £347,796.
