Police at the scene in the park behind Princess Alice Drive
CCTV search and extra police patrols
Police in Sutton Coldfield have stepped their hunt for the man who raped a woman in a park.
West Midlands Police have increased patrols and are trawling through CCTV in their hunt for the rapist,
Officers say they are continuing to support the woman and want to reassure residents that the investigation is “still very much ongoing” weeks after the attack.
The attack happened in Princess Alice Park between 8pm and 9pm on Sunday, October 3.
Superintendent Annie Miller, who is overseeing the investigation, said: “I know the local strength of feeling about this.
“People are rightly shocked that this has happened on their doorstep.
“This crime is despicable. It’s a really difficult time for the survivor and her loved ones.
“We thank everyone who has contacted us with information so far.
“Our efforts to find this man continue and we’re doing everything we can.
“Local officers continue to patrol the area, as we want women to feel safe and be safe.
“Male violence against women is not acceptable.”
Officers say they are methodically going through CCTV footage in order to identify the man who is described as white, aged 20 to 35, of medium to stocky build and “extra broad” around the shoulders.ADVERTISING
He spoke with a Birmingham accent and was wearing a grey tracksuit and black trainers.
Police believe after speaking to people in the area, that he may have been in the park in the days and possibly weeks leading up to the attack
They say they have also checked whether there have been reports of similar attacks, and although at this time, they don’t believe there have been, they are not ruling anything out.
With drink spiking reaching epidemic proportions, not least in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands Police have offered guidelines over how to avoid the it.
Our priority, as always, will be to keep you safe. We know that there’s still lots of concerns about being spiked while out so we’re doing even more to stop crimes before they happen.
Our officers on patrol and CCTV operators will be using behavioural science techniques to identify suspicious behaviour and body language. If they spot something, they’ll have a chat and see what’s going on and take further action such as stop and search if they have to. Our sniffer dogs will also be out walking queues ready to detect drugs and weapons while our drone team will be monitoring crowded places.
We’ve bought in 500 multiple drug test kits and have detectives ready to respond to reports of spiking. The aim is to get samples from the casualty as soon as possible to help us detect drugs in their system. This will help us bring offenders before the courts
. We’ve also been sharing the signs of spiking so people know how to stay safe, what to look out for and when to get help. Bars are briefed and almost all of them are taking extra measures to keep their customers safe. ID checks and extra searches can be expected along with more patrols inside the venue with close monitoring of CCTV. Staff are ready to help if people need it, with larger clubs providing on site medics.
Some places are also offering free drug detection kits for people who are worried their drink may have been tampered with. Street Pastors and wardens will also be out patrolling and ready to respond. Detective Superintendent Sean Phillips is leading on our response to the rise in reports of spiking. He said: “The aim of spiking may be to incapacitate someone enough to rob or sexually assault them. Sometimes it is just intended as a joke – a bad joke because it’s very dangerous. “People can be spiked with extra shots added to their drinks or by drugs being added. Spiking has also come to mean being injected with drugs without their knowledge or permission.
“Spiking is an act of violence – most often by men against women and it’s got to stop. We’ll do everything we can to make that happen.” No needle stick reports in the West Midlands have resulted in subsequent crimes against the victim, such as robbery or sexual assaults. Sexual offences have followed in 10 drink spiking crimes. These include rape, attempt rape, sexual assault and causing a female to engage in sexual activity.
Spiking is against the law. It’s a serious crime with serious consequences. People are more aware of spiking than ever before so you’re more likely to be found out.
If you spiked someone to enable sexual activity, you could face 10 years in jail, you may also be placed on the sex offenders register. A criminal conviction will change your life. You may lose your job, your home, future careers will be affected when you tell them about your past and you may also face restrictions on travel with countries like the USA not giving visas to people with convictions for serious crimes.
Make the right choices and look out for each other. Get information on spiking at west-midland.police.uk The charity Victim Support are ready to help you if you’ve been spiked in the past and are struggling to cope. Call them 24/7 on 0808 1689. kind regards

Jo Edwards and Paul Edwards, who started JE Consulting in 1998
Firm goes for growth after lockdown
“The pandemic tested our resistance, with a tsunami of problems, but we have come through it stronger than when we started. I’m so very proud of our people.”
Those are the words of Jo Edwards, co-founder of JE Consulting, one of many businesses based in the thriving Sutton Coldfield area.
The firm, founded in 1998, is emerging from the pandemic with new clients and optimism for the future.
More than 99 per cent of businesses in the UK are small and medium-sized enterprises or SMEs and Sutton is a prime example of that.
Jo said: “Sutton businesses are not corporates, we do not have a Toyota, Nissan or Google on our doorstep, but strong SMEs are the backbone of a local economy and we are glad to be part of that.”
As they emerge from the pandemic and various lockdowns, the company is continuing to grow with new clients, with a diverse and professional team and confidence for the future.
The company provides marketing, PR and digital services to a range of professional clients, from accountants to solicitors and health care providers. They have around 140 clients, with some with them since the beginning.
Jo and business partner Paul Edwards are both Sutton born and bred and started their business on 1 April, 1998.
They have not looked back since as the company has gone from strength to strength.
Both are natives of Sutton and educated locally, Jo at John Wilmott and Paul at what was Riland Bedford, but is now Plantsbrook.
They initially started with a small office in Gate Lane, Boldmere, but soon outgrew the premises and moved to their current location at Mitre Court in Sutton, an office development nestling somewhere between Bishop Vesey school and the Birmingham Met College.
While initially a marketing consultancy, the firm has diversified and grown and now offers graphic design services, web design and SEO services and PR expertise. It employs people from very different walks of life and offers a relaxed but professional working environment.
It all started nearly 24 years ago. Jo had been a marketing director at another company but then moved to working as a consultant for one company supplying software to accountancy firms.
Word spread and other firms approached and that was when she and Paul decided it was time to go it alone as a separate company.
Working mainly with accountancy firms, they began to employ staff and soon solicitors came on board, followed by health care providers, usually referred by those accountancy firms.
The growth in clients in the south-east of the country led to a base being set up in London and Jo splits her time between there and Sutton, while also spending plenty of time on the road meeting clients. Paul, together with operations director Niki Dale, looks after the day-to-day operations of the firm.
Jo said that 70 per cent of clients are south of Watford and the referral base is much more vibrant, less price resistant and more open to bringing in experts and that’s why it was vital to have a presence in the south.

“You need to be within the bubble. And our new London presence opened doors for us,” said Jo.
Growing all the time but their commitment to Sutton Coldfield remains strong.
“We started our business in Sutton and we have no intention of leaving,” she said.
Marketing firms need to be agile and receptive to change and JE has had to keep pace with the growth in the internet and the huge changes triggered by digital technology.
Jo noted that over the last few years there has been a significant move from traditional marketing methods like direct mail to a more digitally focussed business, which has been embraced by professional clients.
She said: “Digital growth through the pandemic has shown marketing objectives can be achieved on digital platforms.
“Referrals are still important, but digital is key as the next younger generation of business owners have grown up with the internet. First resources used tend to be Google searches for finding suppliers or contacts.
The company takes an enlightened approach to recruitment, being colour blind to ethnicity, gender and age.
Jo explained: “We have always looked for quirkiness with individuals. We do not necessarily expect university degrees, previous experience, or knowledge of the accountancy market place.
“Personality is important to us, employing the right person with the right attitude. You can teach the right person to do a professional job and the best possible training in marketing is doing the job.”
While the pandemic is still with us, the firm has taken a flexible view on working arrangements.
During lockdown, nearly all worked from home, but since restrictions were lifted, there is a combination of home and office working.
While accepting the current arrangements, Jo says she cannot imagine working from home permanently. She believes staff miss out on mentoring and young people in particular have missed out on the social aspect of the workplace.
Looking to the future, she is happy to further expand but values quality over quantity.
She added: “We are seen by clients as part of their team and yes we can expand and provide off the shelf packages for social media websites etc, but every business is unique. In marketing one size doesn’t fit all and we provide excellent support for good quality clients that value us and stay with us.
“As to the future, we will stay in Sutton, but if the need arises we will expand and open offices in Manchester, Tyneside, Scotland or wherever necessary. But we are very much Midlanders and that is our business base.”

Company’s event raises £4,774 for St Giles Hospice
A Sutton Coldfield company’s charity golf day has raised a tee-rific £4,774 in aid of St Giles Hospice.
The event, hosted by Logan Khan, Practice Director at The Boss Partnership based in Sutton Coldfield, Tamworth, Lichfield and Birmingham, took place at the JCB Golf & Country Club, near Uttoxeter, on Monday, 20th September.
Logan’s friend and golf club member Steve Withers, Chief Executive of Burton on Trent-based Herongrange Group Ltd, donated tickets for the event. Steve also provided tickets for another golf day in aid of St Giles hosted by his brother Paul, Managing Director of Tamworth car dealer AW Carhouse, on Monday, 6th September.
Logan’s mother Vivian spent her final days at St Giles Hospice in 2019 after she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Paul and Steve both knew Vivian who, Logan said, had received ‘world-class care’ at St Giles.
Logan said: “At St Giles the staff really understand the meaning of end-of-life care and they work so hard to make you five-star comfortable. The staff there were all marvellous, and members of staff gave my mum as much love as my sister Rachel and I could have. They were incredible.
“After the last turbulent 18 months when charities have been so badly hit by the pandemic, this has been our first opportunity to fundraise for St Giles and I’m so grateful to my friends Steve and Paul for supporting this charity.”

Steve added: “Herongrange’s charity golf days have together raised a grand total of £10,058 for St Giles Hospice. This is an incredible amount and resounding success, and I’d like to offer my heartfelt thanks to our partners and to everyone who attended and donated for making this possible.
“St Giles Hospice is a charity that has great significance to the Withers family, and we have proudly supported them for a number of years now. They provide such vital services and support for families and individuals when it is needed most, and I am humbled by the important work they do.”
Samantha Storey, Regional Fundraising Manager at St Giles, which cares for patients who are living with a terminal illness and supports their families, said the hospice was very grateful for the fundraising efforts of all three companies and their guests.
She said: “We would like to thank Logan, Steve and Paul so much for organising these fantastic events and thank everybody who took part for their incredible generosity. We really couldn’t carry on providing the care services we offer to local families without the kindness of our community and the support of our local businesses.
“The money they have raised will make a huge difference to the lives of the patients and families we care for. It costs £676 to fund 24 hours of hospice care for a patient at the end of their life. If any other local businesses would like to organise an event in aid of St Giles Hospice we would be delighted to hear from them.”

Gary Smith is heading up operations at Built Unique Co as managing director
‘Boutique’ gym to open in Sutton Coldfield
A Sutton Coldfield business consortium has hailed a ‘new era’ for fitness lovers in the town after investing almost £250,000 in an innovative new concept.
Built Unique Co is set to open on the former Birmingham Road Blockbuster Video site by the end of November and will be the new home of functional fitness and bodybuilding for the Greater Birmingham area.
Functional fitness means doing movements that mimic everyday actions, engaging multiple muscle groups at the same time. The activity builds strength, stability, and mobility across the whole body, supporting comfortable living both inside and outside the gym environment.
The boutique gym is the evolution of the CrossFit B76 concept, with ex-partner Gary Smith, heading up operations at Built Unique Co as managing director.
Gary said “I have always had a passion for fitness and in particular functional fitness – it’s how I met many of Built Unique Co’s investors. We’ve always talked about opening a gym and with Sutton Coldfield’s vibrancy and ‘being on the up’, it felt like the perfect town to trial our ‘high street gym’ concept.
“Everyone knows how challenging the high street environment currently is, but we are excited to play a role in driving footfall back to the town center.
With a career spanning over 15 years in the fitness industry, MD Gary has first hand seen the benefits that fitness can bring to the lives of many.
“In addition to supporting people with their fitness and health, it’s great to be bringing jobs to the area. We have already employed six people and we are still on the lookout for other roles such as front of house. We are also keen to speak to personal trainers looking for space to hire out and who essentially want to run their own fitness business.
“Whilst the gym is situated in Sutton Coldfield, we know the calibre of our staff and the programme we are offering will attract function fitness fanatics far and wide.
“We are hoping to gain fame as the home of small classes with a PT focus, as well as making a big impact on the local community. We are keen to help as many people as possible, which is why we will be offering opportunities for schools, clubs, and families to get involved.
“We shall also be running mentoring programs and ensuring that we provide facilities for people with disabilities. Many people think the Co stands for company, but it actually stands for community.
In addition to people benefiting physically from the new gym, Built Unique Co is keen that other businesses benefit from the new venture and really believes this could be a new era for people looking for a gym membership.
“We are also looking to partner with local suppliers and businesses to create a real hub of mutual benefits that are exciting for our members and provide opportunities for people in the area to come to together.”
Built Unique Co is set to offer many different membership options including trial months and a limited number of Founding Memberships. For anyone interested in joining Built Unique Co and the membership packages should registered their interest at https://www.builtuniqueco.com/.

Homes with Halloween decorations on display are best for you to call at, as they are most likely to be entering into the spirit of the occasion. Some people may feel vulnerable about opening their doors after dark, so if they don’t have any decorations, please take it as a sign your visit might be too frightening for them and leave them undisturbed.

Rebecca Horton-Worby with a picture of herself and her mother
Daughter of hospice patient calls on community to support Christmas event
A Sutton Coldfield woman whose Mum was admitted to St Giles Hospice on Christmas Eve for end of life care is calling on people to support the charity by playing its festive raffle.
Rebecca Horton-Worby, aged 35, from Boldmere, said that her Mum Sandra Horton, who had bladder cancer, was so relieved to get the news that there was a space for her at St Giles.
She said: “We got a call on Christmas Eve morning. It was such a relief as St Giles was where she wanted to be. Christmas is a particularly difficult time to go into a hospice – but St Giles made it feel special and like a home from home.”
Mum-of-one Rebecca and her family first encountered St Giles in 1995 when her nan’s husband, Ken Rose, received end of life care at the hospice. In 2011, her nan Cynthia Rose was also supported by the hospice after becoming ill with pancreatic cancer.
“When mum was in hospital and they were discussing her options she knew she wanted to go to St Giles,” added Rebecca. “She had heard such good things about it from family and friends and people in the community.
“We were met by such caring and compassionate staff. We sat down to discuss mum’s final wishes, which were all met thanks to these wonderful people. They did everything they could to make the situation easier.
“As a family, we always love the anticipation of Christmas Eve. I’d bought Mum, my sister Abbie and I matching bracelets with ‘Mum’ and a little flower on. It was such a nice atmosphere on Christmas Eve that I decided to hand out the bracelets while it was just the three of us – it’s a moment I’ll cherish forever.
“Christmas Day was lovely too, as you could hear Christmas carols playing and the joy of people opening presents.”
One of the braclets given as a gift
Rebecca, sister Abbie Horton and mum Sandra Horton
Rebecca began fundraising for St Giles as a child after her Uncle Ken died. When she got married, she asked for donations to the hospice instead of presents and has taken part in a number of fundraising events, as well as organising a charity ball at the George Hotel in Lichfield. Since her mum died she has also started volunteering to help out at hospice events.
“The care my family got from St Giles has been absolutely phenomenal,” said Rebecca. “They weren’t just caring for mum, they were caring for us too. Having St Giles Hospice in our community is a true blessing for people with a terminal illness and for their families.
“I hope people will support St Giles this Christmas by playing the Christmas Raffle. The money raised will help give other families the care, space and support that St Giles provides both at Christmas time and throughout the year.”
It costs more than £10 million to provide the care St Giles offers every year and the hospice needs to raise £850,000 each month to keep its services going and continue to support more local people.
Tickets for the hospice Christmas raffle are now on sale at £1 each and prizes up for grabs include a jackpot of £8,000, a second prize of £2,000 and other cash prizes.
Elinor Eustace, Income Generation Director at St Giles Hospice, said: “Every ticket sold in our raffle will help to ensure we can continue to be there for people like Rebecca and her family when they need us most – your generosity makes such a difference to the care we can provide.
“Playing our Christmas raffle is an easy way to support St Giles while also having a bit of fun, with the chance to win some fabulous cash prizes. Hitting our jackpot could really put a smile on your face to start off the new year!
“Tickets are now on sale and we are so grateful to our community for continuing to support us.”
