The Midlands has had an average growth rate of 3.7 per cent, below the 海角视频 average of 4.2 per cent.

An independent regional business report will be produced after the event which will provide a series of key recommendations for creating a new system of business support in the Midlands.
The report will be disseminated nationally through key networks, including directly with officials at the Department for Business and 10 Downing Street.
They start at starts at 8.30am on March 31 at Millennium Point in Birmingham.
