Where Ideas Spark and Solutions Start
Co.Spark is a dynamic new initiative from the Norfolk Chambers of Commerce, designed to ignite collaboration, creativity, and community across Norfolk’s business landscape.
At its heart, Co.Spark is a place where knowledge is shared generously, experience is passed on with purpose, and business challenges are met with practical solutions and a fresh perspective.
What is Co.Spark?
Co.Spark connects two powerful forces:
Bright Sparks: Experienced business minds who’ve seen the pitfalls, celebrated the wins, and are keen to give back.
Ambitious Businesses: Those at a crossroads or looking to scale, improve, or simply take their next confident step forward.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all support model, Co.Spark offers something more agile and human:
- A ‘business first aid’ approach where you can triage a challenge quickly and tap into the right kind of help
- Mentorship moments through a ‘Pass It On’ ethos. From one business to another
- Real stories from past champions to inspire and show what’s possible
- Roundtable Clinics in the Norwich Business Hub: Welcoming, collaborative spaces to spark ideas
- Quick access to support via WhatsApp or online consultation request forms
- A growing library of solutions through our shared Bright Sparks knowledgebase
What Does Co.Spark Aim to Do?
We want to change the way local businesses access help. Making it faster, friendlier, and more personal.
Through Co.Spark we aim to:
- Unlock the experience sitting quietly in successful businesses
- Give early-stage and growing companies the confidence to act
- Create a culture of “give a little, get a lot” across our community
- Offer support that’s light-touch but high-impact
What’s Next?
Co.Spark has launched its pilot phase, and the first “Coffee Clinics” will begin in just a few weeks. We’re also:
- Finalising our triage tools to connect businesses with the right support
- Gathering and sharing practical business case studies from across the region
- Inviting new Bright Sparks to step forward and help shape the future of support
If you’d like to ask for support, share your experience, or just find out more, Co.Spark is open and ready for you.
Get involved. Spark something new. Together, we grow.
