I want to go to the NEC shortly, What's the best(cheapest) handler to use. Plus any advice on the approach so as not to make a complete ass of myself-coming in from the South. Thanks

I don't think you get a choice of handler at Brum, unless things have changed recently.

There are two handlers now. But we always use Signature. They might drive you around to the NEC too (if you ask nicely!).

I used Signature - very friendly/reasonable and a free lift to the NEC. They even asked me to call them when I was ready to be collected

Signature are probably the most convenient. Don't worry about the approach, these days they tend to make you approach using the main runway, you will then be asked to vacate left or right depending on runway direction, to the Elmdon Apron.

Used the new one - Eurojet, recently - very good - Runway approaches / landings now compulsory i think.
