This year, for the first time, the Norfolk Chambers created the Norfolk Business Hub designed for SME’s to showcase their businesses to the local community at the UK’s largest county show, the Royal Norfolk Show. The Hub sponsored by Solinatra, united 28 Norfolk businesses and provided them with the opportunity to raise their brand awareness and connect with thousands of attendees all under one roof! The Hub was buzzing with activity as amazing businesses from all around Norfolk gathered to exhibit their products and services. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to connect with other local businesses and network in the Co.llaborate Zone, a space furnished and sponsored by iQ Workspace. Check out their amazing office furniture, including their meeting pod on slideshow 2 below! During the two days, we hosted several networking events to provide opportunities for meaningful conversations. These included two lunchtime networking sessions, a breakfast event, and an informal sunset drinks reception sponsored by Norse Group, with the support of Norfolk County Council and Black Shuck. To close the show’s second day, we also hosted an afternoon drinks reception sponsored by The Thomas Paine Hotel. James Groves, Managing Director at Indigo Swan said “The Norfolk Business Hub provided us with a wonderful base over the two days we were able to connect and speak to clients, partners, and new opportunities alike. It was a buzz of energy. Thank you to the Chambers team for making it a fantastic event.” Thank you to all of our stand holders who contributed to the huge success of the Norfolk Business Hub.
