Partners West Midlands: Frequently Asked Questions

The West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) is the West Midlands region’s investment promotion and destination management organisation. We’re backed by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), its seven constituent metropolitan authorities, and five of the region’s universities. We bring together the strengths of the public, private and academic sectors to deliver sustainable, inclusive growth for the West Midlands. Our mission is to attract investment, businesses, and visitors to the West Midlands to grow the economy, create jobs and deliver a better quality of life for those who live and work here.

The Partners West Midlands (PWM) programme is WMGC’s official Partner Programme. Bringing together organisations of all sizes, PWM offers members an array of benefits and opportunities designed to support in accelerating growth and development across the West Midlands and beyond.

Our members are made up of a diverse range of organisations of all sizes – from SMEs and scale-ups to large global corporates – across sectors including real estate, professional services, tourism, and hospitality, amongst others.

We have multiple tiers of membership, designed to suit different company sizes and needs. Our dedicated team will be able to talk you through the different tiers, and which package would be best suited to your organisation’s needs.

After joining PWM, you will be assigned a dedicated account manager based on the sector/industry your organisation represents. They will work with you throughout the duration of your membership to ensure your organisation's objectives are met and that all relevant opportunities across profiling, insights, and networking are highlighted.

All PWM memberships are annual. When membership renewal is approaching, your PWM account manager will alert you with details on how to renew for the forthcoming year.

Due to the size of the organisations we work with, PWM membership is open to select named individuals within your organisation, which we will agree on as membership is signed.

Joining the PWM programme will provide your business with an array of benefits designed to support and accelerate growth for organisations across the West Midlands. From connections to decision makers and regional leaders, to profile amplification and tailored growth intelligence, members of Partners West Midlands are joining for a variety of reasons.

Unlike other, more conventional partner models, the Partners West Midlands programme is delivered by the WMGC and is backed by the Mayor of the West Midlands’ office, the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), its seven constituent metropolitan authorities, and the region’s leading education institutions, all designed to give organisations a strategic and competitive edge.
