Amey launches its design hub
Public services provider Amey has launched its new international design hub in Birmingham and pledged its commitment to helping local young people by launching a new technical apprentice programme. The hub, in Colmore Plaza, was opened by Amey chief executive Mel Ewell and leader of Birmingham City Council Mike Whitby. Over the next six weeks, consulting staff will be relocated to the hub from Amey's existing offices across the West Midlands. In April the company committed to creating a further 500 jobs as part of the plans for the new venture. Some 250 have already been filled and a further 250 will be introduced over the next two to three years.
