An exciting new scheme which could help people save money on energy bills and cut carbon emissions by investing in solar panels has launched in Solihull.

I have had a busy week involving small and medium sized enterprises (SME), so it is only fitting that form the basis of my column this week too.

The Solihull Colour Palette, proudly displayed in Touchwood Shopping Centre, celebrates Solihull through a series of colour swatches showcasing the borough’s rich history, influential people and beautiful places.

Solihull students are benefiting from valuable work experience this week at the prestigious ‘Game on Birmingham’ event series at bp pulse LIVE (NEC Campus) from 26 to 30 March.
