Moving on from our Business and Tourism Programme (BATP) and on to the next phase of funding, it's vital that we secure a supplier who can work with us in a fast-paced manner, delivering to a high standard.

WMGC requires a media cuttings service to identify, collate and analyse press coverage generated by the company and its Global West Midlands activity.
