Following the role that I have in the West Midlands I will shortly by visiting Poland to head a delegation representing a wide range of companies looking to develop business partnerships with local companies.

Lodz is the 2nd. largest City in Poland and heads the Wudz Region. We have been developing a wide range of links for several years many in the area of education, skills, local government, environment, food and drink, medical technologies, building, tourism and leisure.

The visit is in conjunction with the West Midlands Confederation of Chambers of Commerce who have led on the development from the beginning.

While in Lodz I will be having discussions with the Marshall of the Lodz Region on trade and cultural development between our two areas.
