Seeking the Pioneers: Alex Yip

Birmingham Race Impact Group presents Seeking the Pioneers — a bold two-year heritage project celebrating Birmingham’s legacy of race activism from the 1940s to today. Made possible with support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the project connects generations by preserving the stories of leaders shaping a more just and inclusive Britain. In 2025, we interviewed Alex Yip — born in Birmingham and City Councillor for Sutton Wylde Green. Serving as Shadow Cabinet Member for Social Justice, Community Safety, and Equalities at Birmingham City Council, Alex brings a wide range of experience to public life. A magistrate, school governor, and trustee of Sutton Coldfield YMCA, he was first elected in 2015 following a diverse career that included running a successful chain of takeaways, teaching English in Shanghai, and volunteering across Africa. A proud one-nation Conservative, Alex has held several cabinet roles, including Shadow Cabinet Member for Vulnerable Children and Communities, focusing on domestic abuse, SEND provision, and community safety. He has also stood as a Parliamentary Candidate for Birmingham Edgbaston. Through Seeking the Pioneers, we highlight voices shaping Birmingham’s civic and social landscape — inspiring a new generation to document, reflect, and lead.
