Created in Birmingham is a weblog that has been written on an almost daily basis since 1 December 2006, promoting, discussing and being part of Birmingham’s vibrant creative community.
It is currently run by Chris Unitt and Pete Ashton. For a fuller list of those who have been involved over the years see The Team section below.
There are two reasons for this blog:
- To find out what’s going on around Birmingham and promote it
