On Tuesday 19th September we held The Big Breakfast at Royal Norwich where we heard from our panel who covered topics discussed in our Focus Groups. Lots of great connections were made and some fascinating table discussions took place around phase 2 of the Norfolk & Suffolk LSIP. A BIG thanks to our panel, James Ingham (UPP), Harry Harris (Swarm Training), Gemma Crane (Mindset-HR), and James Howells (Turning Factor) for sharing their views and advice on some key issues such as workplace wellbeing, skills, and more. Thanks to Royal Norwich for providing a lovely full English breakfast and to our headline sponsors Turning Factor. View our video from the event here Jack Weaver, Chief Operating Officer: Businesses keep telling us that skills, recruitment and talent retention are major issues for them. The Big Breakfast gave us a brilliant opportunity to discuss these, our ongoing work on the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) and hear from industry leaders on what businesses can do to overcome those issues. We’ve had amazing feedback on the networking, roundtable discussions…not to mention the breakfast. All your insight will go straight into Phase 2 of our LSIP, and inform what we do next with our focus groups around the county. Dean Pierpoint, LSIP Project Manager: “It was great to see so many businesses attend The Big Breakfast to discuss skills and workforce development, a great networking buzz made for a very positive event for all involved.”
