Quarterly Business Report

The Greater Birmingham Quarterly Business Report

The GBCC Quarterly Business Report (QBR), sponsored by Birmingham City University, offers an up-to-date snapshot of the performance of the Greater Birmingham business community. It is the most comprehensive regular report of its kind in the city region.

Underpinning our report is data gathered from quarterly surveys on key indicators such as sales, exports, investment intentions and recruitment difficulties. The Chambers surveys businesses across the Greater Birmingham Area, which includes Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield & Tamworth, Cannock Chase and Burton-on-Trent. 

Each report is launched at high profile event with a panel of experts and CEOs sharing their insights on key trends. For more information on our upcoming events visit the GBCC events calendar.

Surveying for our latest Quarterly Business Report took place after the majority of Covid-19 related restrictions had been lifted across the country and it’s great to see positive sentiment coursing through the veins of the Greater Birmingham business community.

The latest data from our Quarterly Business Report reveals an upturn in domestic and international activity as we head towards the end of another extraordinary year, with a record number of domestic sales and an increase in export sales to a level that we haven’t seen since early 2019.
