Creating a movement that will Connect, Share and Inspire.
The main theme that runs throughout the day is “Connect : Share : Inspire”. These three words sum up the opportunity that the Inspired Women present to those participating on the day. Firstly to connect with others that have shown an interest, a desire and passion to engage with, and inspire, young females. This day is about creating a network of people working together to developing young people. Secondly, to share their journeys with each other, and a willingness to share with young people. This event is about bringing those people together and sharing that knowledge. And finally a commitment to inspire the next generation by getting involved with the legacy that hopefully will come from the day. This legacy maybe the start of the mentoring programme across Norfolk and Suffolk, but could take any form.
The Inspired Women event will look to raise the awareness, the challenges and opportunities that young females across the region are facing when entering into the world of work. The day will consist of a combination of presentations and interactive sessions. We would look to group those attending into small focus groups made up of a cross section of people. Each focus group would contain 8-12 members, and hosted by a representative from some of the leading employers in the region or business networking groups in Norfolk and Suffolk.
The event will follow a staged approach to the day, which would encourage the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and career opportunities within the region.
The event takes place at Dunston Hall Hotel – Ipswich Road Norwich

What is AEO – Authorised Economic Operator?
AEO is an internationally recognised quality kite mark issued by HMRC to traders who proactively manage risk and have fully documented systems and procedures in place controlling their international supply chain.
This Session run by Tracey Renshaw from Import Export Support will explain what an international AEO is and what benefits businesses will have once they obtain one.
About Tracey:
Prior to setting up as a consultant 3 years ago and following a long career in Finance during which I was captivated by understanding and resolving the issues that surround the importation, manufacture and re-export of goods. Back in 2014 I decided to set up Import Export Support with the primary reason to work with companies on their customs authorisations and procedures to help smooth out the ripples in the supply chain and to reduce the cost of moving stock around the globe. Since set up I have assisted companies who operate in different markets in their endeavours to improve their international activities with the main focus of my work to work closely with HMRC & the client to ensure and improve compliance in order to secure the benefits. I have submitted several successful duty reclaims, set up customs warehouses, gained customs simplifications including Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), Customs freight with simplified procedures (CFSP), Inward & Outward Processing authorisation (IP & OP) & Simplified Import VAT Accounting (SIVA) & assisted with setting up several Deferment Accounts with the new Combined customs guarantees (CCG).
Businesses of all sizes, sectors and across all communities, national and international have been impacted in an unprecedented way by the current Coronavirus pandemic.

Connect-Ed 2014 will be focused on business , and will create a great opportunity for teachers, career advisors and support staff to engage and connect with business leaders based in Norfolk.
Promoting Knowledge and Careers
The main theme that runs throughout the day is “Getting Connect-Ed”, a real chance for those working with young people every day to get an insight into business, careers, and how business employers recruit.
Connect-Ed is about just that, getting connected. Developing young people, and providing opportunities for them to progress into the world of work, needs a network of people working together, informed about how the other operates day-to-day. Connect-Ed is about bringing those people together and sharing that knowledge.
The day will consist of a combination of presentations and interactive sessions. We would look to group those attending into small focus groups made up of teachers, careers staff, training providers and employers. Each focus group would contain 8-12 members with at least a half of the group made up of attending employers and encourage the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and career opportunities within the sector.
The Event takes place at the Brook Hotel Norwich
