All change for city organisations
Council-funded loan provider Finance Birmingham and business and professional services lobby group Birmingham Forward are planning to move with Marketing Birmingham into Baskerville House in the city.
Marketing Birmingham, a partnership which operates the city’s leisure and business tourism programmes, has signed a deal for new office premises which will involve 52 staff moving from the organisation's current base at Millennium Point.
They are to take up space at Baskerville House which involves accommodating 8,128 sq ft on the ground floor from late October 2011. Finance Birmingham and Birmingham Forward are likely to join the organisation.
Neil Rami, chief executive of Marketing Birmingham, said: "Relocating to Baskerville House is a cost effective move for us and places us in an easily accessible, central location.
"This is also an important strategic move for Marketing Birmingham. In recent months we have worked with the city’s leading business organisations to position Business Birmingham as a central resource and point of contact for potential and existing investors in the city. By moving Business Birmingham, Birmingham Forward and Finance Birmingham under the same roof, we will be able to continue this work."
