The visit provided an opportunity to showcase the impact of the Launchpad a dynamic digital skills and incubation hub created as part of the £21.3 million Bloxwich Town Deal investment and to hear from users, partners and local leaders about how the facility is helping to shape economic and community opportunity in Bloxwich and across the borough.

Our business space also supports 37 local entrepreneurs who use the hub as their regular base, with a further 99 entrepreneurs having received business support. The Launchpad offers residents free access to digital resources, training sessions, flexible working space and collaboration areas designed to foster innovation, learning and business growth. “ It’s been inspiring to see the West Midlands Mayor engage with the success of Bloxwich launchpad. Since opening in September, the centre has become a real community asset, welcoming hundreds of people through its doors and providing vital support to help them build skills and grow their ideas. This visit underlines our commitment to investing in facilities that deliver real outcomes for local people and businesses right here in Bloxwich. “ Councillor Adrian Andrew, Deputy Leader Walsall Council The Mayor of the West Midlands praised the Launchpad’s achievements to date, highlighting its role in supporting inclusive growth, digital inclusion and local enterprise. “ It’s been great to see first-hand the real difference this hub is making. Speaking with users, entrepreneurs and business owners who are supported by the launchpad gives me a great sense of pride in the work being done here. Places like Launchpad are vital for helping people gain skills, start and grow businesses, and drive opportunity right across our region. “ Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands Bloxwich Launchpad sits at the heart of Walsall’s broader regeneration programme, which saw major improvements delivered across the borough in 2025 from community facilities to parks and enterprise spaces all designed to create opportunity, support learning and enhance wellbeing for residents.
