Come along to Digbeth this October as Building Brum and the British Council for Offices explore the BBC fitout being undertaken by Overbury

Join Building Brum and the British Council for Offices (BCO) this October in Digbeth to exploring what the arrival of the BBC’s new Midlands headquarters in Digbeth means for the area, its communities and Birmingham’s wider economy.

This October we are bringing together the people behind the latest phase in the project project with special guest speakers from the BBC, AWW, IDSR and Overbury. Sharing their perspectives on the vision, design and delivery of the project, alongside the importance of social value, local investment and creating a lasting legacy for Digbeth.

Bringing together the people behind the project, the conversation will look beyond the building itself to explore the bigger picture: why Digbeth, how the new BBC home will help shape the area’s future, and what this major investment could unlock for local businesses, jobs, creative industries and communities.

Following the panel, guests will have the opportunity to step inside the project with an exclusive guided site tour, hearing directly from the team delivering the BBC’s new home.
