Working in the Jewellery Quarter

The history of jewellers and related manufacturing businesses in the JQ is well documented. Over the years, the area’s historic architecture and good transport links have attracted other sectors, such as the arts, media and creative industries, to complement the jewellery industry.

Why relocate to the Jewellery Quarter?

A vibrant and cosmopolitan area in a beautifully historic setting.

A large number of sectors reside in the Jewellery Quarter. In addition to hospitality and retail businesses, the Jewellery Quarter attracts a large number of professional services including architects, accountants, solicitors, and financial services. Organisations continue to relocate here from London and other UK towns and cities.

The Jewellery Quarter is well connected to Birmingham City Centre with excellent transport links, including its own tram stop and railway station.
