Andy Street has today set out his ambitious plan to make the car industry in the West Midlands a world leader in new clean electric vehicle and battery technologies, bringing thousands of new green jobs to the West Midlands.
One thing I have learned in my career is the value of having a mentor. It has helped me to take important decisions in work and life. It's also a great way for people to play their part in transforming young people’s lives and contributing to the success of the West Midlands.
We're already investing in a Battery Industrialisation Centre in Coventry, it just makes sense to locate a gigafactory in close to car manufacturers, creating jobs, driving green technology ?
Great support from the Prime Minister Boris Johnson today for our industrial and infrastructure ambitions for the West Midlands ?- including the gigafactory ? and Metro expansion
This week myself and Gary Sambrook visited Frost Electroplating in Kings Norton, it's always great to see local businesses using cutting edge technology and employing local people - thanks for telling us about your success!
Today I had a fascinating visit to Aston Manor Cider, a successful local business who have recently been named Green Business of the Year and Company of the Year at the Birmingham Post Business Awards.
