Birmingham Chamber’s recent annual dinner and awards attracted a sell-out crowd at the International Convention Centre. More than 1,200 guests donned black tie for


the evening, and applauded the success of this year’s awards winners, including Loki Wines, who scooped ‘Excellence in Retail’, and Sarah- Jane Marsh of Birmingham Children’s Hospital, winner of the President’s Award. Chamber chief executive Paul Faulkner said


that the attendance at the event was ‘the largest such gathering since before Joseph Chamberlain’s time’. He added that Chamber was going from


strength-to-strength, and was continuing towards its goal of representing 4,000 member businesses by 2020.
