COUNTY COVERAGE / WEST MIDLANDS
COVERAGE MAP
The West Midlands county is a continuous urban area running from Wolverhampton through the Black Country and Birmingham to Solihull and Coventry. Birmingham is the regional capital, with financial and legal firms around Colmore Row and Brindleyplace, HSBC UK's headquarters, several universities and major hospitals. The Black Country, around Dudley, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Sandwell, still has one of the UK's densest bases of metal-working and manufacturing firms. Jaguar Land Rover has large sites in Solihull, Castle Bromwich and at i54 near Wolverhampton, and Coventry combines automotive engineering with two universities and battery research. The NEC and Birmingham Airport sit beside the M42, and HS2's Curzon Street terminus is under construction.
ACROSS THE WEST MIDLANDS
The five places we cover are very different. Birmingham is a large, diverse city with finance, law, creative and digital firms, universities, hospitality and a huge number of small businesses. Wolverhampton blends aerospace and automotive engineering with its university and services. Coventry combines automotive heritage, engineering research and a large student population. Dudley, in the Black Country, has manufacturers, retail around Merry Hill and heritage tourism at the Black Country Living Museum. Solihull pairs JLR and the NEC with business parks and affluent suburbs. That spread brings briefs from factory systems and supplier portals to event platforms and professional-services websites.
The West Midlands is within easy reach of Wellingborough. Coventry is about an hour via the A45, M1 and M6, and Solihull, Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton are between an hour and an hour and a half. That makes it practical to meet on site for discovery, visit factories or offices and come back for testing and training. The build is run remotely with a weekly call, a shared board and staging sites. We schedule visits outside peak motorway hours where we can.

SECTORS / THE WEST MIDLANDS
Dudley and Wolverhampton's metal-working, casting and engineering firms often run on long-standing systems and spreadsheets. Job costing, production scheduling, traceability, quality records and trade ordering portals are typical projects. We respect the systems you rely on and add tools that remove rekeying and give managers a clear view of work in progress.
Suppliers to JLR and other manufacturers in Coventry, Solihull and Wolverhampton work to strict delivery and quality requirements. Supplier portals, non-conformance and corrective-action tracking, capacity planning and dashboards on on-time delivery help them meet customer expectations. We build for auditable data and practical use on the shop floor.
Birmingham's law firms, accountants, insurers and consultancies serve clients across the Midlands and beyond. Client portals, matter and case intake flows, automated document assembly and reporting across practice and finance systems all reduce admin. We design with confidentiality, access control and audit trails in mind from the outset.
The NEC, the ICC and the city's venues support a wide supply chain of exhibition builders, AV firms, caterers and hotels. Booking and scheduling systems, exhibitor and client portals, and tools that manage crew and equipment around tight build-up and breakdown windows can take a lot of pressure off event weeks.
QUESTIONS / THE WEST MIDLANDS
Yes. Coventry is around an hour from Wellingborough and Birmingham a little further, so on-site discovery, workshops and training are easy to arrange. The build is carried out remotely between visits, with a weekly call, a shared board and a staging site where you can see progress and give feedback as we go.
Often not. Many older systems still do their core job well. We usually build around them, adding job tracking, production dashboards, trade portals or automation that reads from and writes to the existing system. If replacement genuinely makes sense, we will explain why and plan a careful migration.
We do. Event suppliers often need tools to schedule crews and kit, manage bookings and client requirements, and keep everyone informed during intense build-up and breakdown periods. We design systems that work well on mobile and under time pressure, and connect them with your accounts and existing booking tools.
