An ever-changing landscapeWith a vibrant past and a bright future, Birmingham is – and always been – a city on the move. Over the past two centuries, its people have transformed this once small, market town into a thriving metropolis. This was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Today, that spirit of invention is powering the growth of the UK’s second-largest city.

A diverse community with global tiesSitting at the very heart of the UK, Birmingham is a city that’s connected. This national and international hub is host to the nation’s busiest train station outside of London and over thirty-seven million visitors every year. With strong ties to the capital and the coast, and people from all walks of life, wherever you’re from and wherever you’re going, Birmingham can be part of that journey.

A culture like no otherWith the highest quality of life of any regional city, more people are relocating to Birmingham than anywhere else in the UK. Together, they’ve created the thriving culture that makes this place so unique. If you’re looking for a rich history or the latest trends, you’ll fi nd them here, sitting side-by-side.

A reciprocal relationshipThis city continues to shape us, as people and as a business. In return, we want to give something back. You can decide how we do it: you could take on practical group challenges like renovating social spaces, parks and community centres or tackle one-to-one activities such as coaching disadvantaged pupils. You could even become a Deutsche Dragon and put school pupils to the test at an enterprise day hosted in our Brindleyplace offi ces.
