On Thursday 16th October 2025, Downtown in Business hosted an exclusive Leaders Lunch at the Hyatt Birmingham, welcoming Rishi Shori, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Birmingham City Council, as the keynote guest.
The event brought together senior business leaders, entrepreneurs, and influential decision-makers from across the region to discuss Birmingham’s economic growth, regeneration and infrastructure plans, sustainability agenda, and the importance of strong collaboration between the public and private sectors.
Guests enjoyed an engaging discussion around the city’s long-term vision, current challenges, and the collective opportunities that can help Birmingham continue to thrive as a leading hub for business, investment, and innovation.
This insightful afternoon was sponsored by Steven Hunt & Associates, whose continued support helps facilitate conversations that shape the future of our cities.
