Welcome to the Wyre Forest District Business Guide - a valuable source of useful information and a comprehensive directory of local businesses.

The Guide, which is also available on CD and online, will enable companies to easily source local goods and services and will also serve as an important instrument to broadcast the District's many quality and diverse businesses to a wider audience.

The Wyre Forest District has much to offer existing enterprises and businesses thinking of relocating. Foremost, is the District's central location with easy access to the motorway and main line rail networks as well as having Birmingham International Airport, one of the UK's largest, on our doorstep. The area also benefits from competitive commercial land and property prices and a diverse workforce - making the District an attractive location for business.

In addition to these attributes, the 'ReWyre' Initiative provides a vision for the future that will help drive forward regeneration projects, enabling the District to maximise its potential. It will focus on attracting new public and private investment into the District which, in turn, will give businesses the confidence to further develop the area and contribute to its success.

This Guide has been compiled by the Policy and Regeneration Section who are happy to offer advice and assistance relating to business premises, grants, employment, town centre management and tourism - telephone 01562 732928 or email regeneration@wyreforestdc.gov.uk

I hope you find this publication of assistance and on behalf of the District Council, wish your business every success in the future.
