OPEN your eyes and ears to the city around you before growing too alarmed by a report which suggests that Birmingham's status as a great place to do business is dwindling.
According to the Cushman and Wakefield European Monitor, Birmingham is no longer a top twenty city.
What nonsense from an organisation that is hardly a household name.
If Brum's appeal is waning, why would a huge company such as National Express move its national headquarters here?
Why would world famous names such as Jaguar and Land Rover have major manufacturing plants here?
Why would Cadbury-Schweppes, downgrading production facilities elsewhere in the country, insist that Bournville remains its flagship?
If that is not enough to convince you, take a walk round Birmingham's financial quarter and walk past the plush offices occupied by high-fliers making crucial decisions.
Truth is, our city is second only to London in terms of the business done here.
We have always been – and will remain – at the heart of this country's industry and commerce.
Take Cushman and Wakefield's report with a very big pinch of salt. Then toss the silly document in the bin.

It looks like you've attracted quite the little following finally! I'm happy to see it.

While this topiccan be very touchy for most people, my attitudeis that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and brightcommentary here though. Thank you!

Hey! I and my wife truly want to buy a brand-new 106 inch High Definiton lcd tv. The HD Tv have to have 100 % hd and as well , a minimum of two HDMI guarded outlets. For that reason my wife and i am looking out for plenty of excellent reviews forums, due to the fact there are different types of Tv models produced by several trademarks available on the main electric marketplace. Does some person acknowledge a number of really good blog sites, so where i and my wife could very well check out?

The capacity being in a position to take a step back in time to see whenever you begin a brand new project to find out where by or when points went downhill will be helpful. That may enable those in internet promoting better find out opportunities and accurate mistakes being decreasing their visibility?
