March was a hectic month for Social Enterprise West Midlands (SEWM). Launch of the new business, membership offer, exhibiting at Voice11 in the 02 Arena and a move to a new office in Birmingham.
I read something recently by the Policy Exchange on the need for growth to be market led, and a separate article on Grant Shapps’ proposal to dispose of public land. Both raise the issue of economic geography, state-market relations and leadership. In other words, placeshaping.
