Solihull Chamber will be the focus of the second week of the campaign, Burton and Chase Chambers in the third week and Greater Birmingham Commonwealth Chamber and Greater Birmingham Transatlantic Chamber will be the focus of the fourth week of the campaign.

The final week of the campaign will focus on Birmingham Chamber.

Future Faces Chamber and the Asian Business Chamber of Commerce will host a number of fringe events during the campaign.

Chris Brewerton, senior relationship and business development manager at Sutton Coldfield Chamber, said: “With the absence of the Royal Business Fair due to Covid this year and last year, an event focused on the opportunity for growth in the royal town of Sutton Coldfield is vitally important as we emerge from lockdown.
