Business Growth West Midlands (BGWM): launch event

West Midlands Combined Authority is launching Business Growth West Midlands (BGWM): comprehensive business support services to help your West Midlands business grow and succeed.

The launch event is taking place on Tuesday 12 September at Coventry Building Society Arena. It’s for West Midlands business leaders, entrepreneurs and business support providers.

There, the Mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street will give the keynote address. He will show his commitment to promoting business growth in the region. He will explain where this new service fits into the economic development of the West Midlands.
