Building Brighter Futures: Enterprise Hub Contractor Officially Appointed!
We’re delighted to share an important step forward for the development of the Erdington Enterprise Hub. Following a detailed selection process, the BSN Group has been appointed as the main contractor for the transformation of the former Erdington Baths site on Mason Road.
Working in partnership with Birmingham City Council and the West Midlands Combined Authority, this £4 million project will breathe new life into the historic building, creating a modern hub for business growth, innovation and community connection.
To mark the start of construction, we’ll be hosting a Meet the Contractors Day in early 2026, giving local residents a chance to meet the BSN team, ask questions and find out more about the project.

December to Remember – Sprinkling Christmas spirit Across our Community!
This heart-warming initiative was created to bring a little extra joy to local families who may find it difficult to afford gifts at Christmas. Each year, December to Remember reminds us what community spirit truly means – coming together to support one another during times that can be especially challenging.
Once again, we reached out to our wonderful supporters, from local residents and partners to our dedicated staff and volunteers, asking for donations of new gifts and toys for children aged 0 to 16 years. With your incredible generosity, we were able to gift 496 presents to 69 families and 124 children across six local schools.
Since launching in 2022, the appeal has seen hundreds of gifts donated, beautifully wrapped and delivered to families across our area. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy and festive spirit to make a difference this Christmas.
