The Norfolk Chambers of Commerce have launched their Engagement Focus Groups for 2023 and are delighted to announce that local broadband experts Upp are sponsoring the series of events. Upp is rolling out its ‘next level broadband’ to towns across Norfolk and the East of England. Their plans include investing in underserved areas and creating jobs as they grow. Upp follows eco-friendly practices wherever they can in order to provide reliably fast full fibre broadband to businesses and residents. “Fast reliable broadband that covers every corner of your home or office isn’t just a nice to have; it’s become a necessity, and our team is dedicated to delivering it across Norfolk. We’re delighted to be sponsoring the Engagement Focus Groups and looking forward to connecting with people across the county and hearing their thoughts. Being able to influence change and make Norfolk an even better place for business is important to us” says Edward Money, Director of Brand Experience and Product for Upp. The Engagement Focus Groups are coming to a town near you, with over 15 focus groups planned throughout the year. At least one Board member of the Norfolk Chambers will attend each group. The Focus Groups kicked off at Redwings Horse Sanctuary for the first of the North Norwich and North Norfolk Focus events. The Norfolk Chambers aim is to have groups in many towns, market towns, and villages across Norfolk, to connect, support, and give voice to every business in Norfolk. These groups are accessible to all businesses, whether you are a Chambers member or not. Nova Fairbank, CEO of Norfolk Chambers of Commerce says, “These groups will provide attendees with a platform to debate issues that are most important to them, and their business. The Chamber network will lobby and influence on their behalf, using the Chambers dedicated team, website, social media channels, and digital platform. “The feedback will be used by the team and the Chamber’s Board, to help shape the strategic direction of Norfolk Chambers to ensure we can truly be the voice of Norfolk businesses.” Whether the local challenge is connectivity, skills, road, rail, digital infrastructure, recruitment, or the rising costs of doing business, these Engagement Focus Groups are for you. They are free to attend and can be booked here.
