In partnership with Prosper UK, Arundells is delighted to welcome Andy Street, former Mayor of the West Midlands and Co-chair of Prosper UK, for an evening of discussion and debate.
Against the backdrop of Sir Edward Heath’s former home, guests will have the opportunity to hear Andy Street explore the populist challenge facing mainstream politics today, before taking part in questions from the audience.
Guests will enjoy an exclusive after-hours visit to Arundells, including access to the house and gardens, followed by a drinks reception before the talk.
Andy Street is the former Mayor of the West Midlands (2017–2024). He won two unexpected elections in 2017 and 2021 in what many regarded as a Labour heartland. He remains a leading voice for the West Midlands and for strong, empowered regions that can deliver for local communities and strengthen the economy. Before entering politics, Andy was Managing Director of John Lewis and he brings a clear business perspective to public service. He is also Chair of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
