Stats and information for businesses considering relocation to or setting up an office in Birmingham.
Birmingham is one of the metropolitan boroughs that comprise the West Midlands. It is considered as the largest of the core cities of England. It is also widely recognized as the country’s second city.
Birmingham has a very impressive reputation, having been the stage for the arrival of the industrial revolution in Britain. At one point it was even dubbed as the workshop of the world. This impressive history of the area has been preserved for all to see through the many museums that commemorate this chapter in Birmingham’s history. In fact, most of the buildings used for this purpose were built during that era and have been restored to their original state – a wonderful attraction for people who seek to know more about Birmingham.
