Video highlights Advantage West Midlands success

The inspiring success stories of eight Midlands businesses have been spotlighted in a new video designed to show how Advantage West Midlands is delivering on its vision of building a world-class region in which to work, rest and play.
Bosses from companies such as Secure Box Ltd, The CharacterShop Ltd and SenSelect Ltd speak frankly in the ten minute production about the valuable support they have received through the scheme which has provided the Midlands with new hope for the future.
Produced by Lichfield-based iceni Productions Ltd, the short documentary creates an inspirational overview of what Advantage West Midlands has achieved in the area, both in raising its business profile and in creating a greater sense of pride for those living and working within it.
Andi Jepson, Managing Director at iceni, said: “The thought-provoking selection of interviews provide proof that stories of one man bands becoming global enterprises are no longer the stuff of dreams and that re-locating to the heart of the country can provide an economically viable alternative to setting up in London.
“It is poignant that Advantage West Midlands chose a local company to promote the area and I hope our genuine interest in the success of the project, and our empathy with fellow Midlands business-people, comes across in the video’s production.”
The video was first shown at Advantage West Midlands’ annual conference on October 20 at Ricoh Arena in Coventry, which provides AWM with a platform to show exactly what they have achieved over the last twelve months and look forward to their goals for the next year.
