Scorching temperatures, sizzling burgers and great company awaited members of the Norwich Research Park community who joined Anglia Innovation Partnership LLP (AIP) at their community summer barbecue sponsored by Chadwicks and Fortus. The event was held on the grass and terrace area just outside the Centrum building attended by over 200 guests, from businesses and park partner organisations, who joined in the fun with networking, games and great food from the Genuine Dining Company. Roz Bird, the new Chief Executive of Anglian Innovation Partnership commented, “Well done to the whole AIP team, and the catering team at the Centrum building, for organising an excellent first summer barbecue for our Norwich Research Park community. It is so important for us to help the people that work at Norwich Research Park to meet, talk, explore opportunities, and inspire each other with all the amazing science and business activity taking place. Roz continued, “It was a great opportunity for me to introduce myself to lots of members of our community in one go and I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone over the coming weeks and months!” AIP LLP also held a raffle to raise money for the Priscilla Bacon Hospice, and one lucky winner received a luxurious dinner and stay kindly donated by the Park Farm Hotel. Representatives from the hospice charity attended the event to sell cookbooks, and poetry books, and raise money for this great local cause. The AIP team is working on plans for a whole series of Norwich Research Park events for the community to help companies and researchers on the park to network, collaborate and promote what they do.
