Carl Segulem

I’ve lived in Birmingham since I was 5 years old. Now I’m approaching my mid 50s, so by my reckoning this entitles me to call myself a Brumie. I’m proud to say this and am very passionate about our city and its future, and Brumies being involved in shaping this future.

Publicity | Resident Survey

After leaving higher education where I studied Art and Music, I retrained and taught IT and Mathematics for 10 years. This was followed by 9 years as a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force culminating with 7 years as a Systems Analyst working for IBM and the West Mercia Constabulary.

David Foster

After working for many years in the headquarters of one of Britain’s biggest businesses, I took early retirement and moved from Surrey to Birmingham (King Edwards Wharf) in September 2001. Although family needs demanded it, I have never regretted moving to Birmingham City Centre and find it a great place in which to live. I particularly enjoy the variety of musical and theatrical events in the city and living so close to them. 

I am also a regular volunteer helper at the Birmingham Museum and Art gallery.

Jon Lord

Forum Representative on Retail BID Board

My name is Jon Lord and although originating from a Derbyshire village, I have lived in Birmingham since coming here to study in 1993. Following brief periods of living in both Edgbaston & Moseley I decided to move to the city centre in 2003 and moved to my present location on Cannon Street in June 2004.

Karen Caine

Treasurer | Website | Vice-chairman

I was born in Birmingham, and have lived here most of my life. I moved to the City Centre from the outskirts in 2003, and I love it! It is great to be able to walk to almost everywhere I want to go, and not to have to get into the car just to get to a shop.
