You will find an organisation that is both challenging and supportive; with a leadership impatiently adventurous in its pursuit of excellence.

• A Prosperous Birmingham: through a focus on inclusive economic growth, tackling unemployment, attracting inward investment, and maximising the benefits of the Commonwealth Games.
