Make your voice count and influence policy in Norfolk
Tariffs are shifting. Taxes are climbing. Supply chains are tightening thanks to wars you didn’t start and decisions you didn’t make. But while you can’t always control global events, you can make your voice heard right here in Norfolk, where we can make local issues become national conversations.
We don’t just talk about giving businesses a voice, we put you in the room, in the inbox, and on the radar of the people who matter.
Why influence matters more than ever
In today’s turbulent economic climate, it’s not enough to just adapt, you need to shape the business landscape. We fight your corner for skills shortages, infrastructure delays, spiralling business rates, broadband blackspots, and more. Through collective lobbying, consultations, and campaigns, powered by real data and real voices, we push for the changes you want to see.
We transform your challenges, frustrations, and ideas into powerful influence, reaching from County Hall to Westminster. Our strength lies in years of trusted relationships, supported by a national network, the British Chambers of Commerce, and hundreds of businesses just like yours.
Take part in the UK’s most influential Business Survey
Each quarter, we invite businesses based in the county to take part in the Quarterly Economic Survey (QES), the UK’s largest independent business survey. It only takes minutes, but it feeds into key policy reports, media coverage, and government decision-making.
No matter your size, sector, or turnover, your insight helps set the tone for the economy, both locally and nationally.
Your Chamber, your voice to influence policy
You don’t have time to chase politicians. That’s our job. We represent Norfolk’s business community in countless ways, including:
- Regular engagement with MPs and councillors
- Policy councils and steering groups where your insight helps shape our campaigns
- Events like The Big Debate, where politicians answer directly to you
- Submissions to government consultations, armed with real case studies from our members
You get a seat at the table, even if you can’t be in the room.
Campaigns that reflect Norfolk’s real needs
We don’t run abstract policy campaigns dreamt up in a boardroom. We build our campaigns on real conversations, emails, frustrations, and ideas from businesses across the county, the length of the A47 from King’s Lynn to Great Yarmouth, from the Cromer coastline to Thetford’s forests.
