DRIVEN BY INNOVATION: TRIUMPH IN THE BLACK COUNTRY’S SMALL BUSINESS LANDSCAPE
We have been crowned the Small Business of the Year, a prestigious award sponsored by IGNITE and the City of Wolverhampton Council. The honour is both humbling and exhilarating, marking not just a personal achievement but a celebration of the resilience, creativity, and community spirit that fuels small businesses in our local area.
Birchills Automotive Presswork Ltd was born out of a passion for automotive innovation and a dream to leave an indelible mark on the industry. From our modest beginnings, we’ve come a long way, and this award is a testament to the incredible journey we’ve had – filled with challenges, triumphs, and unwavering dedication.
To be recognized as the Small Business of the Year is an acknowledgment of the countless hours, sleepless nights, and the sheer determination invested not just by the entire team. The award, sponsored by IGNITE and the City of Wolverhampton Council, signifies more than just a title; it symbolises the value of small businesses in driving local economies and fostering a sense of community.
The Industrial Heart of the Country
IGNITE and the City of Wolverhampton Council understand the vital role small businesses play in the economic landscape. Their sponsorship of the Small Business of the Year award isn’t just a nod to Birchills but a commitment to nurturing and celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit that defines the Black Country. It’s a recognition that small businesses aren’t just the backbone of the local economy; they are its heartbeat and I’m proud to bring my own sculptures to live in this thriving business environment.
One of the key elements that set Birchills apart has been our commitment to innovation and adaptability. Operating under the banner of Oliver Wellings Designs has allowed us to infuse creativity into the world of automotive presswork. In an industry that is constantly evolving, staying ahead isn’t a choice – it’s a necessity. This award validates our approach, showing that embracing innovation and pushing creative boundaries can lead to both business success and industry leadership.
Winning the Small Business of the Year award underscores our commitment to being more than just a business; it’s about being a responsible and contributing member of the community.

It’s a region that has witnessed the rise and fall of industries, yet it continues to be a hub of innovation and resilience. We are proud of our roots and the unique energy that comes from a fusion of history and modernity.
