The town retains much of its Victorian architecture due to being left largely untouched during World War II, unlike its two neighbouring cities.

The borough is home to three major sites of national repute. First, there’s Birmingham Airport, which is to the north eat of the town centre. The airport handles flights to much of Europe as well as North America, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Second is the National Exhibition Centre, where conferences, pop concerts and even exhibitions take place. And third is the Land Rover factory, which shares its production of the iconic range of vehicles with Halewood near Liverpool.
With first-rate communications from road (the M42 passes nearby), rail and air, close links to Birmingham city centre and an active population, Solihull is a natural place to look for a Head of Facilities Management job. There’s plenty of industry in the area, as there always seems to be wherever a major car-making plant is located.
