The Midlands Engine is not just a partnership in name. We all share a genuine sense of togetherness and belief in our amassed power to achieve more for our region’s people and places.

We are all aware that our strength comes from the fact we are greater than the sum of our parts. We all understand that because of our commitment to the same goals, we are forging something exceptional and far more significant than we could hope to achieve alone. It is this genuine togetherness that enables us to amplify each other’s successes, discover new paths forward and ultimately do more for everyone’s benefit.

Formed by a group of committed parliamentarians, the Midlands Engine APPG plays a key role in promoting investment in the Midlands and supporting levelling up.

Chaired by Darren Henry MP and Lord Ravensdale, this collaboration of our region’s MPs and Peers works together to raise the profile of the Midlands Engine, its projects and priorities in Parliament. The group meets every quarter with additional monthly subgroups on key areas, such as transport, health and digital. In addition to these meetings, our region’s parliamentarians are supporting the Midlands Engine through conversations with government, questions in both Houses of Parliament and speaking in relevant debates to highlight the work of the Partnership.
