West Midlands
There are more than 130,000 VAT-registered businesses in the West Midlands. Businesses are spread across a diverse range of sectors and a quarter of all companies are in the property and business services sector. Subsequently, the industry sectors are production, construction and retail. In addition, Advantage West Midlands has identified the following sectors as key regional priorities:
- food and drink
- transport technologies
- building technologies
- tourism and leisure
- high value added consumer products
- specialist business and professional services
- ICT
- environmental technologies
- medical technologies.
These are, therefore, areas of current economic importance to the region.
Our aim is to help businesses in all sectors save money through resource efficiency. To do this, we often work with partner programmes, such as Business Link, to ensure businesses receive the support they need. Envirowise provides businesses in the West Midlands with support that meets their needs. These pages provide you with information about regional Envirowise events and information about help that is available through our partners.
If you are a business looking for advice on how to become more resource efficient, please talk to, or email, the Envirowise Advice Line
