Our July issue debates the nature of power in the region during a recession as our Power 100 lists those people who can get the Midlands moving. Our round table debates have also got the economy in mind, looking for green shoots in the region and within the commercial property sector in particular. Paul Kehoe, chief executive of Birmingham International Airport, outlines his future plans, while our economic forum roadshow arrives in Derby. Elsewhere, we explain the intricacies of Islamic finance and report on how to build a brand. And we ask whether universities are doing enough to help local businesses.
