New Strategic Director of City Operations announced
Craig Cooper has been announced as Birmingham City Council’s new permanent Strategic Director of City Operations. The appointment marks a return to the city for Craig, who spearheaded the council’s role in the hugely successful Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, for which he was the authority’s Programme Director.
The Games were an amazing success for the city, with over five million visitors attracted to Birmingham during the unforgettable fortnight of the event, which projected the city to a global media audience, kickstarted an investment programme worth £700million+ for north west Birmingham and acted as the launchpad for a Golden Decade of Opportunity.
