What does a business vision for Norfolk look like?
Norfolk Chamber aims to ensure that there is ‘business friendly’ local environment in which our members can operate and prosper. Our four key themes are: Revolution in Technology; Improving Infrastructure; Bridging the Skills Gap; and Economic Trends – all themes aim to support the needs of our members and help them grow.
We are currently working in partnership with the local authorities and the New Anglia LEP to review and update the overall Economic Strategy for Norfolk. It is essential that the updated Strategy is business focussed and is designed to make the most of the opportunities in our region.
To make this strategy robust, we want to hear from small, medium and large businesses about what they need to grow their businesses. Norfolk Chamber are holding a series of roundtable discussions to capture business opinions and needs which will be fed back into the Economic Strategy:
Roundtable Events will be held on the below dates:
