Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton has been rejuvenated by recent developments. The town centre has been transformed by the construction of two large shopping precincts, and as a result is now home to a number of successful business headquarters. These include Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries, the country’s biggest regional brewer and pub-operator, and the Express and Star, the country’s largest evening newspaper outside London.
