Businesses in West Norfolk are invited to attend a free special networking lunch hosted by Norfolk Chamber of Commerce at King’s Lynn Town Hall on Thursday 26 April. With over 75 businesses already registered to attend, there’ll be plenty of opportunities for businesses to make new connections, share bright ideas and expand their professional network at this key event hosted by Norfolk’s leading business organisation. Businesses will hear from Norfolk Chamber’s Chief Executive, Chris Sargisson who will reveal exciting new plans to enhance the Chamber’s involvement, presence and service offering in West Norfolk. Following a consultation with local businesses in 2017 to find out what future developments and support they would like to see, the Chamber has responded by planning future activities that will boost engagement with the West Norfolk region. Chris Sargisson said: “There are lots of exciting, successful businesses and plenty to celebrate in West Norfolk. We’re keen to meet as many businesses as possible on 26th April to form closer relationships with the business community we serve and to communicate Norfolk Chamber’s commitment to providing outstanding support, services and new opportunities in the West Norfolk region.” The event will be hosted by the president of the West Norfolk Chamber Council and general manager of the Bank House Hotel, Michael Baldwin. Michael is a champion of the West Norfolk region and committed to promoting King’s Lynn as a leading business destination. Showing his enthusiasm for the event, Michael said: “I think that this event is a really important step forward in making the west of Norfolk more engaged with the chamber…. We have lots of new and established organisations who I hope will see the chamber as a go to when it needs support. There is a lot of investment happening in West Norfolk and I see real potential for Norfolk Chamber to be involved and help shape the future of the local area.” Businesses will hear from guest speaker, Matt Sykes, founder of training firm, Salescadence. Matt will provide top tips on how to effectively approach networking events and deliver clear guidance on how to make every opportunity you get to meet someone a truly memorable one.
