IoD West Midlands Magazine - Spring 2019

We are pleased to announce the Spring edition of our magazine in which we hear from cybersecurity expert Professor Prashant Pillai about digital connectivity and Director of the Year 2018 winner, Carmen Watson about inclusivity. We also catch up with the adi group, who hosted the first of our Chair's Best Practice visits and keep a look out for our key takeaways from our brilliant International Women's Day event surrounding this year's theme #BalanceForBetter.

The IoD West Midlands Region

This diverse region covers the counties of Staffordshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire, as well as the urban areas of Birmingham, Coventry, Solihull and the Black Country and is made up of over 1,800 directors and senior decision makers.

Headed up by regional chair, Brian Hall, the IoD West Midlands hosts a programme of seminars, business breakfasts and special events which give members the opportunity to listen, question and be inspired by business leaders, politicians and decision-makers.

Our branches

The regional head office is located at the IoD West Midlands Hub in the iHub Colmore Grate. It is led by our Regional Director Calum Nisbet, who is ably supported by Jordan Lowe.

The West Midlands region includes Birmingham, the Black Country, Shropshire, Staffordshire and parts of Derbyshire. It encompasses key towns and cities such as Wolverhampton, Dudley, Telford, Stoke, Shrewsbury and Stafford.

Within IoD West Midlands we are well supported by our two chairs, who help to ensure that we reach all our members across the region. Ian Priest is responsible for the Black Country area, while Richard Biseker looks after Staffordshire and Shropshire.
