Get involved & help us shout about Staffordshire
What is a Staffordshire Ambassador?
As part of our Staffordshire Story our newly formed Ambassador programme is key to connecting businesses, organisations and individuals across our county into a powerful network of voices to promote Staffordshire to national and international audiences.
We are looking for passionate advocates for the county: be that large organisations, SMEs or individuals with the passion and power to influence how it is marketed, portrayed in the media and at events; to ensure Staffordshire is put firmly on the map and recognised by the people who can make change happen.
Ultimately, we want to harness the collective clout of our Ambassador network to put Staffordshire on the world stage, attracting investment, businesses and visitors to create a more successful economy for the county. If that sounds like you or your organisation, then we want you!
What our ambassadors say
Staffordshire is a creative and resilient county and deserves to be more widely known for its incredible cultural heritage and the wonderful opportunities we have to work, visit and play here. As a We Are Staffordshire Board member and Ambassador, I look forward to further championing Staffordshire and spreading the word that we are the best place to make and create!

Harnessing the collective power of our Staffordshire businesses is crucial to making sure we’re seen and heard not just in surrounding UK cities, but on the global stage. We have a proud story to tell, and we’re fired up to shout about it!
