Voluntary Norfolk works with people to improve lives and strengthen communities across the county, not only through volunteering but also through the various services we provide and partnerships we participate in.

Voluntary Norfolk is involved in many projects spanning the breadth of the county:

• We are there supporting people when they need help the most through our work with carers, especially young carers, as well as those suffering from loneliness and social isolation.
• We are leading new initiatives that enable communities to thrive, such as through Freshly Greated (our community arts venture in Great Yarmouth).
• We are there strengthening the VCSE sector by providing training and help recruiting volunteers to charities across the county and work closely with other organisations, such as through the Empowering Communities Partnership, to maximise the benefits we offer.
• Our employment and skills team continues to be effective at getting people back into work.

We remain committed to building stronger communities through volunteering and supporting the Voluntary sector. We have recently launched an online platform to ensure volunteering is made as easy as possible for people to sign up. Get Involved allows people in Norfolk to discover the many opportunities to support groups and communities within our communities.

An important unrestricted income stream supporting Voluntary Norfolk comes from our trading subsidiary, CBR Business Solutions. Our professional support services offer the following services to charities and businesses across England and Wales:

• Tailored HR support
• Outsourced Payroll service
• DBS Checks
• Jobs Board for VCSE sector vacancies in Norfolk

Clients value the expertise, prompt responses and professional relationships our team develop. We take the time to get to know and understand the needs of your business and ensure the advice and support we give is tailored to meet those needs.

 “It’s so useful outsourcing our Payroll, DBS checks and HR – everything has always worked really smoothly, the services are affordable, and they are always responsive.  I’ve always worked for big corporate organisations before within their own departments, but it does feel like CBR are all part of the team; I really feel I can just pick up the phone and they help me understand what I need. Knowing I have the expertise to ensure it’s all correct with pensions, TUPE, contracts etc gives me peace of mind.”  CEO – Eating Matters

It is our ambition to be your preferred global supplier of innovative and added value packaging solutions. We serve as a reliable full service partner to customers in the Personal Care, Food & Beverage and Home Care markets. Respecting our corporate social responsibility, we strive for fast growth with long term and constructive relationships.

Since 2001, Westcotec has been at the forefront of the vehicle activated sign industry. Based in the centre of Norfolk, we have grown to become one of the biggest suppliers of quality vehicle-activated signs in the UK.

We design, manufacture and supply a comprehensive and complete range of vehicle-activated road signs and numerous systems that are triggered from a wide range of sensors.

In addition to conventional signs, we can create bespoke solutions to your individual traffic safety requirements.

CE marking

After vigorous testing to European Standards, all of Westcotec products are now CE certified. This certification is required for all fixed signs that are now installed on the highway, including private sites.

Portable signs are required to bear the CE mark from September 2016.

Vehicle-activated signs

Using the latest LED and radar technology, we are able to provide effective solutions to most traffic related safety problems using light emitting symbols and legends for warning signs and roundels from the Traffic Signs Regulations & General Directions (TSRGD). Westcotec give a full six-year UK warranty with all fixed signage.

Speed indicator devices

Speed indicator devices (SIDs) accurately measure the oncoming vehicles speed and displays this value to the driver. A number of variations are available. The sign face itself can also display a number of different messages along with the speed such as SLOW DOWN.

Portable signs

Portable, lightweight signs can be carried and installed on different sites by a single person. They are battery-powered and include a full 12-month warranty covering everything apart from vandalism, impact damage and theft. Extra bracket sets can be purchased in order to easily move the sign without having to move the bracket.

Interactive road signs: consultancy, installation and service

The installation of interactive signing needs careful thought and design. We can provide skilled, professional advice and guidance to ensure that clients are able to achieve effective schemes at best value.

We can install and service your signs. We can repair and maintain other manufacturer’s signs, subject to survey.

Externally triggered signs

A number of sensors and triggers from external sources can be used to activate a set display on an LED sign. An example of such system is a low bridge warning sign to divert over height vehicles, as well as a flood warning sign which displays depth of the water.

School safety zone signs

Our school safety zone signs can be full or part-LED, along with being combined with a reflective backing. They have a fully programmable timer and a remote switching option. The times are able to be changed via Bluetooth.

Solar and wind power

Where a location lacks mains power or where mains power costs are prohibitive, solar and/or wind power is used on signs and systems. These signs are powered by 12V batteries recharged by solar panels and/or wind generators.

These have a low-maintenance requirement and are vandal-resistant. If you are considering this as an option then a site survey is essential. This is provided free of charge.

Data collection

Data collection can be enabled for all signs. This gives the user information on the speed of vehicles that travel past the sign, along with date and time. The data can be plotted into graphs to show averages and can be exported to excel.

Specialist signs and systems

We can design bespoke signs to meet specific traffic control needs. We have a proven track record producing innovative designs and state of the art systems, keeping ourselves one step ahead of the competition.

Our declared aim is to bring the technology of the future, to today’s roads. In-depth discussions with clients on their specific requirements has enabled Westcotec to gain the most comprehensive experience with road safety systems in England.

Air Quality Monitoring

Westcotec is able to provide real-time, hyperlocal air quality data collection, that has the potential to be livestreamed to a mapping website, as well as an API to be displayed on other websites. This can also be paired with display signage to indicate to people in the area, and also to trigger signage to divert vehicles around a pollution hotspot.

Electric Vehicle Charging

EVs are growing in their presence across Norfolk, and the infrastructure needs to be in place to support this. Westcotec is able to offer a variety of EV chargers, dependent on the customers requirements. These can be used commercially and also for businesses looking to support their changing fleets.

Employee Ownership

In 2018, Westcotec became one of the first companies in East Anglia to become an employee owned business, in which a trust oversees the business operation of the company, and the day-to-day operations are managed by the board of directors in place.
