BUSINESS: Broadway Tower, lit up by One Worcestershire A COUNTY business campaign is expanding to provide a post-lockdown boost to support the hospitality industry. One Worcestershire, which promotes the county as a place to work and do business, is expanding its Make It Worcestershire campaign, which it launched last year. A spokesman said: One Worcestershire is an approach to raise the profile of the county. It is not owned by any one organisation or partner. It is a public and private sector partnership reflecting county wide pride in championing Worcestershire as a place to live, work, invest and visit. For too long now, Worcestershire has been one of the country’s best kept secrets. So let’s not keep it secret any longer and let’s share our success and showcase the best that our county has to offer.
