Being an Ambassador is a chance to “contribute towards the development and growth of Sandwell.”
“Having worked in Sandwell for many years and living close by, I’m passionate about its people, the opportunities we can create for the community, and the future development of the region. We should proudly shout about this, especially from an education and employment perspective, and encourage more businesses and pathways to success here. I am glad to work with my fellow Ambassadors to help promote this enormously productive area of the country.”
