The best of Brum - part two


Being raised in Birmingham, I have many memories about many places across the city, so choosing my favourite place for the team photo was a challenge. I decided to think about the reasons that I love Birmingham – shopping, socialising, great bars and restaurants, the odd celebrity spot and fantastic architecture – and that’s how I came up with The Mailbox.

Since starting at Rewired, my links with The Mailbox have continued to grow; our involvement in Style Birmingham has taken me to many a Harvey Nichols Fashion Show and working on last year’s The Sunday Times Style in the City meant me and the gorgeous models spent three fantastic days there for the catwalk show. This year's Style Birmingham Live also saw me and George Lamb making The Mailbox a hang-out, and I even partied with the models in the same bar as Katie Price and Dane Bowers. As you do...! Naturally, I also love shopping and socialising and The Mailbox is the perfect place for both.

But more than that is what The Mailbox stands for. Birmingham is often thought of as nothing more than Spaghetti Junction and I’m always quick to correct people with this opinion. Over the past decade it has become a thriving, exciting and cosmopolitan city; perfect for young professionals. The Mailbox embodies how the city has embraced regeneration; taking an old Post Office HQ and turning it into a leading leisure destination. I am also a big fan of The Cube and think it’s fantastic that Birmingham’s skyline continues to embrace such iconic buildings.

So, from designer handbags (which we all know I have an obsession with) and fantastic bars, to leading architecture and a personification of regeneration, The Mailbox has everything that I want from a city.

That’s it from me. Sam, over to you...
