The Commonwealth Games wants Midlands-made cars!

Midlands made cars for Birmingham 2022

The Commonwealth Games wants your cars for the opening ceremony!

Cars made in the Midlands are wanted to feature in the opening of the Commonwealth Games this summer. The Midlands has long been known as the ‘engine’ of the United Kingdom, not just for the hard work and innovation but for the fantastic history of car building.

We know Tamworth is famous for the Reliant Robin and so many people across the town work for JLR and Aston Martin. Making around 40% of the British cars exported from the United Kingdom, the Midlands really does make the world go round!

Let’s show off your talents at the Commonwealth Games. The ceremony organisers are particularly interested in any rarer vehicles and drivers will need to be able to attend rehearsals in Birmingham in July but mileage will be covered. They want around 70 cars to appear at the show.

Got a Midlands-made car you want to show off to the world? Let the teams know – cars@birminghamceremonies.com 

Let me know if you're successful!

Promoting community groups

It’s the first of August so that means it’s time to kick off my annual social media campaign! It started with Defib a Day, and last year I focused on small business, but this year I want to focus on those important community groups that rely on valuable volunteers to keep going.

Promote Tamworth Jobs and Tourism

Tourism is currently worth £127 billion to Britain’s economy and as Britain’s seventh largest export industry, inbound tourism’s economic contribution is currently valued at £26.2 billion. We are lucky to have so much on our doorstep that I want to continue to promote.
