Please use the ash bins provided for the disposal of ash, not the paths around the Museum.
If the ash bin you would normally use is full, please ask the Duty Manager to get it emptied for you.
In some areas ash is beginning to overflow onto the flower beds which is creating extra work in maintaining the grounds. Any path repairs that are needed will be carried out by the maintenance team when required.
Your assistance with this is much appreciated.
From now on you can keep up to date with what’s going at the Museum wherever you are and whenever you want to.
To access the intranet just go to http://pmm.d88.mywebsitetransfer.com in your internet browser and enter the password fishandchips
N.B. If you’re on the museum network there is no password prompt.
Ever wondered what it would be like to hear yourself on the radio?
We’re currently looking for voice actors to feature in various radio ads in the upcoming months, as well as to record snippets of conversation that will appear across various sound points within the Museum over Christmas.
This will be paid work that we’ll try to fit in with your current working schedule. You may also be required to undertake paid travel to Birmingham City Centre to record in a studio, depending on the opportunity.
All are welcome to register their interest, a Black Country accent is of course welcome but by no means necessary.
How to register your interest
To register your interest as a voice actor, simply drop an email to [email protected] or talk to your line manager.
A member of the marketing team will then arrange to meet with you to record some sample scripts for your audition piece. This will be at a time that’s suitable, most likely before or after you start your shift.
