Last Friday was the first ever Norfolk Day and it was great to see the business community of the county supporting this campaign in the UK’s heatwave.
The day was an opportunity to shout about how great our county is from our innovative businesses to the fantastic landscapes. We were overwhelmed by the support and the number of Norfolk businesses who got involved from holding their own events, to creating a #15secbiz video as part of our Norfolk Day campaign.
Our campaign #15secbiz gave a real insight into the progressive work that is happening right now in Norfolk, and certainly showed a real ‘wow factor.’ We asked Norfolk businesses to create 15 second videos showcasing the amazing things they are doing both locally and globally: and we weren’t disappointed.
We received over 50 videos, which were showcased on Norfolk Day at the Norwich Cathedral with over 60 businesses in attendance to watch. Entries included Captain Fawcett showing their world class gentlemen’s grooming from King’s Lynn, who export globally, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices who are building a new hospice just outside of Norwich and Ember Films who work with the likes of Disney, Netflix, BBC and more! Sadly we can’t mention all of the amazing things that were shown, but you can watch them now – view the show reel by clicking here.
After putting the #15secbiz films out for voting, Tiger Eye Consulting scooped the most votes for their video and won the Chamber Oscar!
Norfolk Chamber would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who got involved and supported this day, and created a video too, without your help this day would not have been possible. The aim of our campaign was to really show how amazing Norfolk is as a place to work, with such unique and expert businesses. We want to continue this message, continue promoting our great county, and change the outside perception.
We know that just by watching our #15secbiz show reel, each viewer will come away thinking ‘I didn’t know that’ – so let’s really shout about it!
