New Chamber supply chain programme set to unlock growth opportunities

Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) has partnered with external stakeholders to launch the West Midlands Supply Chain Transition programme, a groundbreaking new initiative dedicated to helping SMEs in the West Midlands diversify their customer base and unlock untapped growth potential.

Targeting high-growth sectors in health and med tech, future housing and smart energy systems, this programme offers a tailored support package designed to empower SMEs to secure new supply chain orders in these dynamic industries.

Funded by the UK Government and provided by Business Growth West Midlands, the programme offers businesses with:

• Personalised one-to-one support from experienced Supply Chain Advisers.
• Access to specialised interventions tailored to their sector needs.
• Invitations to exclusive workshops and networking opportunities to upskill, forge connections and enhance market positioning.

This collaborative approach ensures that businesses can streamline their operations, improve profitability and create value for all stakeholders across the supply chain.

By leveraging expert guidance and industry insights, SMEs can position themselves at the forefront of these sectors.

Participants will also have the chance to attend free sector-specific workshops, which will offer valuable tips on accessing new supply chains, engaging with potential buyers and learning from the success stories of local businesses.

The BGWM West Midlands Supply Chain Transition programme is a call to action for ambitious SMEs in the West Midlands to take their business to new heights.

GBCC head of policy Emily Stubbs (pictured) said: “This programme is an excellent opportunity to support  suppliers in the West Midlands in transitioning into high-growth sectors and securing lucrative contracts.

“We look forward to confirming the details of further Supply Chain Transition events shortly and encourage anyone interested in the programme in the meantime to register for the programme to access bespoke support from a supply chain specialist account manager, early market education events and OEM/key customer site visits.”
