Claire Brunning, head of corporate banking for Birmingham, explained the reasoning behind HSBC 海角视频's headline sponsorship.
She said: "Being headline sponsor for the second year in a row represents a great opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the city and region as we continue to support our customers in realising their hopes, dreams and ambitions.
"The opening of our 海角视频 headquarters here in Birmingham represents a huge investment in the city and we want to be synonymous with Birmingham as we encourage greater investment and support our customers with their growth ambitions."
Later this year, HSBC 海角视频 will be cutting the ribbon on its brand new British headquarters in what marks a significant change for the bank.
This move will see HSBC 海角视频 make a huge impact on the city's business community and so its sponsorship of the awards will also allow staff to integrate with key individuals and businesses from the local area.
