West Midlands Growth Company
Formerly Marketing Birmingham, the West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) helps the region make its mark nationally and internationally. Its primary purpose is to attract investment, jobs, visitors and businesses to the West Midlands.
West Midlands Tourism Awards 2020
The West Midlands’ tourism industry is worth a whopping £12.6 billion, with the sector supporting more than 135,000 jobs. The West Midlands Tourism Awards are designed to celebrate the success of the West Midlands’ visitor economy and to showcase the region’s very best venues, people, experiences and accommodation.
Covering fifteen different categories, from Camping, Glamping, Holiday Park of the Year to Experience of the Year, the awards cover the breadth of fantastic services on offer in this part of the UK, recognising the very best this region has to offer. Nicola Hewitt, Commercial Director at MWGC, described the awards as “an opportunity to celebrate the region as a unique, engaging destination, and highlight the critical role that tourism plays in its economic success.”
The judges, selected by WMGC, are an independent panel of industry leaders and experts in their field. Roger Mendonca, Chief Operating Officer at WMGC, said of the judging process: “We received a high standard of entry for our awards from more than 75 tourism businesses, and congratulate those venues who have got the nod from industry experts following a very competitive shortlisting process.”

Recognising pubs that make a significant contribution to tourism in their area, with food and drink offering that includes quality locally-sourced produce, the announcement came as the perfect Christmas present for all of the staff who work tirelessly to ensure The Millstone Hare stays at the top of its game.
