Worcestershire to bring its inward investment message to Birmingham in January
BUSINESS leaders from Worcestershire are to present the county’s inward investment case to decision makers in Birmingham.
The World Class Worcestershire event is intended to attract developers and business investors, including those from the county’s three main priority growth sectors: agri-tech, cyber, defence and IT and advanced manufacturing.
The breakfast time event will take place at Hotel du Vin in Church Street in central Birmingham on Wednesday January 28.
It is being sponsored by the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership and law firm Harrison Clark Rickerbys.
It follows on from a similar event which took place in London recently at which speakers outlined infrastructure developments and the highly skilled workforce of the county as well as the support available to businesses.
They also detailed the range of development and investment opportunities ranging from city centre developments through to what are referred to as the county’s four game changer sites: Worcester Growth Corridor, Redditch Eastern Gateway, Malvern Hills Technology Park, and South Kidderminster Enterprise Park.
Speakers at the event included Gary Woodman, executive director of Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership and Mike Ashton, chief executive of the local Chamber of Commerce.
Speakers at the Birmingham event will be confirmed shortly.
Woodman declared the London event a success, saying: “This exclusive event, which is part of a range of activities as we work to profile the development and investment opportunities on offer, provided the opportunity to provide further details about the many opportunities available and answer specific questions.
“We have got some excellent leads, which are now being followed up, and are now inviting the attendees to the county to see for themselves what is on offer.”
