The latest edition of the leading quarterly business publication for the Black Country is out, with stunning cover images from university photography students.
The spring edition of Prosper, the magazine for the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, has been published with a lead story on young professionals who have progressed in their careers with vocational training.
The photos were taken by photography students at the University of Wolverhampton’s Faculty of Arts, Business, and Social Sciences, supported by the team at Osborn Communications who were recently appointed as the Chamber’s communications partner to promote its impact in the region.
As well as taking on editorial support to publish Prosper, the Osborn team are handling press and public relations work, promoting the Chamber as a positive membership group for Black Country businesses while celebrating member success stories.
The interviews with young colleagues from Thomas Dudley, JJX Logistics, Nant and Talbots Law highlight the importance of supporting new employees to develop the skills needed in the region.

“The Black Country Chamber of Commerce is promoting training as the way forward for our businesses as they adjust to the changes in their markets, impact of new technology and the challenging economic environment.”
A post on the Chamber’s LinkedIn page said: “In this edition, we welcome the newest additions of the Chamber team, delve into how we can support you and what 2024 means for your business in the transformative year ahead.
