We are focused on creating a range of items to be presented by the Lord Mayor to VIPs, dignitaries and Heads of States which are: o Innovative - creating an item which is bold and advance in its design and creation o Relevant - We are Birmingham and we want it to represent our unique city o Compelling - we want to provoke interest and admiration in a powerful way linking back to our communities and city. o Legacy & reputation - This will be part of the continuing legacy for our Proud Host City. We want it to be a talking point and be bold, standing apart as a memory of the visit to Birmingham. To create a product which meets and showcases the Host City objectives outlined above.
