But it’s not just about the sparkle — this vibrant corner of Birmingham boasts a thriving food and drink scene and a story steeped in centuries of incredible history. At the centre of it all is the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District (JQBID), the unsung hero keeping this remarkable area ticking. From projects that champion local businesses to efforts that protect its historic soul, JQBID works tirelessly to ensure the Quarter remains one of the UK’s most unique and unforgettable destinations for those who visit, work, or call it home.
