Passing the Baton!
The successful transfer of a business is often the key to a comfortable retirement yet each year an estimated 100,000 businesses simply fade away because no one wants to take them on.
While both buyers and sellers tend, perhaps rightly, to place an empahsis on past financial performance this seminar looks at non-financial factors that may give a better indication of future potential. We will argue that addressing cultural issues and creating appropriate internal and external structures are important elements in preparing a business for sale or transfer.
We draw on first-hand research conducted over three years at the UEA to look at practical ways to make more of a success of succession.

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.

Here it is, the launch of the Norwich Hive. Join us as we launch our very different and innovative Network in Norwich and help us create a collaborative network that is truly shaped by its members. Throughout history entrepreneurs have stayed true to their vision in the face of almost overwhelming opposition. Determination, grit and sometimes bloody mindedness is sometimes all that’s needed to see innovative ideas become household names. James Dyson built more than 5,000 prototypes before getting his bagless vacuum cleaner ready to market. Entrepreneurs come from all walks of life and can be found in schools, hospitals and even churches, as well as in workshops and offices. Today we will hear from Dr John Clements, Minister of The Old Meeting House Congregational Church about his determination to keep the spirit of puritanism alive in Norwich in the 21st century. John’s church is one of the country’s oldest free churches, created by people who refused to conform to the demands of the post reformation national church. Instead they formed their own church and built it out of sight behind Colegate in Norwich. The Quaker Meeting House on Upper St Giles is another example. Old Meeting House.jpg John has a very small congregation and a stunning historic building. He faces opposition and scorn from many quarters, but knows that if he keeps trying, in time he will succeed. His story is one of religious dissent and determination. Don’t miss it!

It provides a package of short training courses tailored to personal needs with a systematic focus on getting participants training, education and work ready. It is led by the Matthew Project in partnership with YMCA, ACE, GYROS, NANSA and The Princess Trust. It is funded by the Big Lottery Fund and European Social Fund as part of Building Better Opportunities programme.
