BCO Midlands & Building Brum: Spill the Tea with the BBC

Join BCO Midlands and Building Brum this October in Digbeth to explore what the arrival of the BBC’s new Midlands headquarters in Digbeth means for the area, its communities and Birmingham’s wider economy.

Bringing together the people behind the project, the conversation will look beyond the building itself to explore the bigger picture: why Digbeth, how the new BBC home will help shape the area’s future, and what this major investment could unlock for local businesses, jobs, creative industries and communities.

Representatives from the BBC, AWW, IDSR and Overbury will share perspectives on the vision, design and delivery of the project, alongside the importance of social value, local investment and creating a lasting legacy for Digbeth.

Following the panel, guests will have the opportunity to step inside the project with an exclusive guided site tour, hearing directly from the team delivering the BBC’s new home.

Panelists:

• BBC: Neil Davis – Head of Programme Management BBC Workplace
• AWW: Jason Fowler – Associate Architect
• IDSR: Helen Berresford – Head of ID:SR and is a partner of Sheppard Robson
• Overbury: Matt Bowler – Contracts Manager

A unique opportunity to hear the story behind one of Birmingham’s most significant developments and join the conversation about what comes next for Digbeth.

All guests are being kindly asked for a £10.00 contribution on the day to St Basils. St Basils is one of the largest organisations working with young people who are homeless or at risk in the country and is the largest regional organisation of its kind.
