Historic Coleshill
Promoting Business & Community
Love Coleshill aims to promote local businesses and community groups. Consortium membership brings many benefits. We hold our own events and inform you of activities in town.
So, what is Love Coleshill all about?
Love Coleshill was set up in 2011 by Penny Johnson and Marie Stephenson with the aim of helping high street businesses to prosper in the light of the arrival of the new Morrison’s store. Things have moved on quite a lot since then! We now have over 50 Consortium members, have hosted many events that have been attended by visitors from near and far, and we want to continue to promote local loyalty, ensuring the vitality of Coleshill.
The current committee was elected at the AGM in January this year. They have local businesses and give their time voluntarily to Love Coleshill as they all believe in supporting the local community and businesses. The organisation is funded by Consortium members and sometimes grants. Specialist help is paid for when needed.

The Committee
Jane Stanley
Chair
Jane is a resident of Coleshill, a mother of 4 boys, joint founder, and GSL for the local Scout Group, Cub Scout Leader and volunteer for the local Honesty shop. When the local Scout Group was invited to join Love Coleshill Jane was very impressed with the opportunity and wanted to help other local businesses and groups benefit from Love Coleshill too.
Alison Core
Secretary
Allison is the newly appointed Secretary. This post has not been filled for some time and she has brought much-needed enthusiasm and passion to get things moving in this role. She is a newer member of the Consortium as she has recently left full time teaching to set up Relax Kids opportunities locally.
Phil Salinas
Treasurer
Phil is the newly appointed Treasurer. He set up Coleshill Mortgages in 2006 with a vision to help people improve their financial position by giving sound professional advice. Wanting to contribute to Love Coleshill he was happy to volunteer for the role of treasurer when Rosalie Whitehead stepped down after 8 years of loyal service.
