A selection of Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce Patrons joined the Black Country Chamber of Commerce for a tour around two of the region’s major attractions.
Twenty-five of the region’s most influential businesses joined Gail Arnold, head of premium membership at the Black Country Chamber, for a tour of Dudley’s Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre (VLRNIC), and to hear from Nick Mallinson, the Director of Business & Innovation at the Black Country Innovative Manufacturing Organisation (BCIMO), on how the centre aims to help to shape and accelerate future industries, such as the emerging Very Light Rail (VLR) industry.
The tour of this £32m multi-purpose centre, which offers a host of unique facilities including a Rail Development and Test Site, Engineering Laboratories, Serviced Offices and an Events Suite, was the first stop of the day followed by a visit to the famous Black Country Living Museum and the chance to ride on a much older mode of transport.
This is part of a range of events taking place for Patron members of Chambers in the West Midlands throughout the year – Staffordshire’s being a of JCB tour in October.
