Sandwell Business Ambassadors
Who are the Sandwell Business Ambassadors?
Sandwell Business Ambassadors are a collective of business leaders formed in 2016 to represent business interests in Sandwell and promote responsible business practices. They liaise closely with Sandwell Council and they have a modest editorial budget paid for by the council, but they set their own agenda.
Each member is a successful businessperson in their own right. As a Sandwell Business Ambassador they are here to:
- Be a voice for Sandwell businesses, ensuring they are heard by Sandwell Council and that information is fed back in a relevant and timely manner
- Represent Sandwell businesses in the wider community
- Improve the lives of Sandwell residents through engagement with schools, promoting opportunities to bridge skills gaps
- Help to promote an inclusive economy that raises people and communities up alongside businesses.
