Moving to or from Birmingham? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the A38, A45 and Spaghetti Junction Test Your Patience)

Welcome to Birmingham — the UK’s beating‑heart of industry, culture, canals, curry, and road layouts that confuse even lifelong residents. With over a million people calling it home, Birmingham blends big‑city buzz with neighbourhoods that feel like their own little villages.

Schools That Actually Impress

Birmingham’s education scene is a heavyweight: King Edward VI schools, Camp Hill, Bishop Vesey, and a strong mix of academies and primaries across the city. Translation: your kids will be fine — and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing Ofsted reports at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Birmingham’s economy is powered by finance, tech, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and a thriving creative sector. Add in commuters heading to Solihull, Coventry, and the city centre’s business districts, and you’ve got a region that’s connected, ambitious, and constantly evolving.

Things to Do (Besides Debating Which Balti House Is Best)

Bullring & Grand Central – retail therapy with a side of architectural flair.
Canal Quarter – more waterways than Venice, and far better pubs.
Local favourites – Cadbury World in Bournville, gigs in Digbeth, cricket at Edgbaston, and Sutton Park for fresh air that doesn’t require leaving the city.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t redesign Spaghetti Junction, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

  • Full packing services

  • Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than the Aston Expressway at 5pm)

  • Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Birmingham is just the start of the adventure)
