Over 70 Norfolk and Cambridgeshire Chamber Members joined together on a sunny May morning at the Knights Hill Hotel for a delicious breakfast and some fantastic networking.
Our host for the morning Heather Garrod, took the delegates through the morning, challenging them to make at least one appointment in the diary with a prospective client. It was then onto a themed ice breaker to get all the delegates thinking and discussing which countries imported which good the most. There was a great atmosphere from this and it continued through breakfast and into our safari move.
Our speaker for the morning Alastair McFarlane followed on from breakfast, he gave a delegates an insight into how much AB Ports are doing across the country and in the local area and the importance of the ports. He told delegates how Kings Lynn port is a major grain exporter supporting agriculture in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire and it contributes £40 million to the local economy every year. A recent refurbishment has meant that there are also now modern laboratory facilities on site for testing of a wide range of products.
Delegates found the talk very interesting and had lots of questions for Alastair during the Q&A. The morning then ended with some free networking giving the delegates a little bit more time to get that all important meeting in.
Our next event in this area is a Hog Roast and Quiz Night on Wednesday 22 July, for more details click here
