Maria Jones, Head of C&E Sales at Edgbaston Events, commented: “We can’t wait for 21 June so we can start returning to normal business once again. Before the start of the pandemic we were set for yet another year of record sales across events at Edgbaston and our team are very much keen to kick off where we finished last March.
“In the meantime, as we have throughout the last year, we will strive to make our guests feel as safe as possible and maintain our excellent procedures we have developed to ensure we can operate a COVID-secure environment.
“The announced government roadmap has provided us with a great deal of excitement that we can provide our clients with more confidence when discussing their event for 2021, that they will go ahead.
