Our engagement groups represent local businesses in the community, to connect, support, and give voice to every business in Norfolk.
As well as having the opportunity to discuss key topics, you’ll also be able to network with fellow businesses.
Our aim is to have groups in many cities, towns, market towns, and villages across Norfolk, to connect, support, and give voice to every business in Norfolk. These groups are accessible to all businesses, whether you are a Chambers member or a non-member.
These groups will provide you with a platform to debate issues that are most important to you, and your business and the Chamber network will lobby and influence on your behalf, using our dedicated team, our website, social media channels, and our digital platform.
Your feedback will be used by our team and the Chamber’s Board to help shape the strategic direction of Norfolk Chambers to ensure we can truly be the voice of Norfolk businesses.
Whether the local challenge is skills, road, rail, digital infrastructure, recruitment, or the rising costs of doing business, we want to hear from you.

Management is like orchestrating a flawless concert, making sure every instrument plays its part efficiently, whereas leadership is more like being the Rockstar on stage… getting the crowd going and creating an unforgettable experience. Both are essential for a successful show, but they play different roles.
Do you feel your workplace is full of rockstars or conductors?
What does management mean to you? Does Leadership matter to you?
We want to know how the young professionals in Norfolk feel on this topic, join us on Thursday 18th January at The Forum, Norwich, where we shall discuss the difference between management and leadership. Joined by a panel of local rockstars and conductors, we shall hear from them first hand on their own experiences and how they feel on the topic. Factoring in how you, the young professionals of Norfolk feel about management and leadership.
Welcome drinks and light canapes served from 5.15pm with the event beginning shortly afterwards. Catering kindly sponsored by Uptech.
