During the industrial revolution, Birmingham blossomed into a vibrant business hub, rivalling London in culture, leisure, and enterprise. At the heart of this transformation is the Jewellery Quarter, home to Europe’s largest cluster of jewellery businesses, crafting over 40% of the UK’s jewellery. This iconic area thrives on continuous investment from local businesses, dedicated to restoring its historic charm. The Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) harnesses this investment to rejuvenate the Jewellery Quarter, revitalising its streets and infusing them with new life and energy. PMP acted as Project Monitor for the following projects:
