Where is Solihull?

Solihull is located nine miles to the east of Birmingham, the second-largest city in the UK. It is also 11 miles to the west of the city of Coventry. However, Solihull is very much a town in its own right, rather than a city suburb. The town itself has a population of approximately 123,000 and the entire Metropolitan Borough of Solihull has a population of around 215,000.

Solihull has been described as the most affluent town in the West Midlands metropolitan county. The term ‘central location’ was perhaps written with Solihull in mind! It’s little more than a short hop to five different motorways, the M42, with the M5, M1, M6 and the M6. Solihull is also a few miles from an international airport and there are direct trains to the capital every hour. Of course, it’s also very easy to get to Birmingham city centre by road or rail.

Business & Economy in Solihull

With the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, Aston University, Warwick University and Solihull College and University Centre all within 12 miles of the town, it’s fair to say that Solihull businesses have access to a pool of talented candidates. In addition to having an educated workforce, average earnings in the town are above the national average. Solihull workers also enjoy a good work/life balance, with a relatively low proportion of the local workforce working more than 45 hours per week.

Engineering is one of the largest industries, with the automotive and aerospace sectors being especially well established in the town. Public administration and financial services also enjoy a significant presence. The town is home to several large business parks and business people in Solihull could benefit from the support offered by the following organisations:

• Solihull Chamber of Commerce – which seeks to “connect, support and grow” its member organisations, and holds regular networking events, exhibitions, forums and speaker events. It’s a member of the larger Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce Group 
• Dorridge Business Alliance AKA 'Porridge in Dorridge' - a breakfast business networking club 
• Birmingham Forward – which lobbies on behalf of its members, and holds events that aim to educate and inform the audience whilst also allowing businesses to network with other attendees 
• LoveBiz Networking – which hosts ‘speed networking’ meetings for businesswomen.

For whatever reason you are visiting the city, whether it is for a small networking event or to relocate your company, just remember there are many different conveniently located Solihull apartments available that can cater for your business travel needs.

Things to Do in Solihull

You may have booked a stay in a self-catering apartment in Solihull initially with just business in mind, but once you stay a little while in the town, you'll soon realise it also a place of sightseeing. Tudor-style architecture features heavily in the town – in its houses and shop fronts and also in larger buildings such as the sandstone parish church of St. Alphege and the manor house of Packwood House.

Solihull is perhaps the archetypal leafy commuter town. It has 1,500 acres of parks, open spaces and Green Belt land, and the town’s motto is the very apt "Urbs in the Rure". This means  "the Town in the Country". Some of the most popular beauty spots include Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens, Clowes Wood Nature Reserve, Brueton Park, Elmdon Park and Earlswood Lakes.

Solihull Borough is also home to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), which hosts many fairs and concerts throughout the year. For something a bit different, why not visit the National Motorbike Museum, where its collection of rare and unusual bikes spans three centuries. On the restaurant scene, housed in an old railway station, the Forest Hotel continues to attract plaudits for its seasonally inspired restaurant fare. Bengal duck jalfrezi and curried scallops with lentils don’t appear on your average Indian menu, so Panchuli is well worth a visit. Morton’s is also open all day as a restaurant serving informal meals such as burgers and steaks, and also serves as a café, deli and bar.

However you choose to spend your time in the town, just know you'll more than likely be within walking distance of an available serviced apartment in Solihull.
