Professional service group Tribal is to set up a new community development team as part of the expansion of its Birmingham-based operations.

The new team, which will be dedicated to working with the community and voluntary sector, will be lead by Barry Colman, managing director of Tribal Regeneration.

The team of ten will be headed up by project director Lynn Mason and project managers David Roberts and Shirley Griffiths.

All have previous experience of schemes in the Midlands.

Mr Colman said: "We will be focusing on improving the delivery and accessibility of local community services."
