The partnership between Norfolk Chambers of Commerce and King’s Lynn-based Uptech will provide Norfolk businesses with more opportunities to improve their cyber security and IT systems. James Fowler, Business Development Manager at Uptech said, “The Strategic Partnership has been in gestation for a few months now, and to have it ready to go, is really exciting! The Chambers events are truly excellent, we want to feed off that group energy, and channel it back into West Norfolk by further sharing our knowledge and expertise.” Uptech saw a very successful year in 2021 achieving Cyber Essential + and Microsoft Gold Partnership, and, finishing in the Top 5 in the country for Managed Service Provider for the year was fantastic recognition for them. With such a positive year behind them, they are focussing on the coming year ahead, “We’re really excited by what 2022 will bring. Over the next year, we’re planning a series of lunch and learn events as part of our partnership, and this firmly cements us as experts within our field,” said Fowler. Managing Director Jason Carlton who is keen to get involved with the Business Climate Leaders programme said, “We’re very passionate about our net-zero journey, we have been 99% paperless for five years and we take notes on tablets and only print when absolutely necessary, we’re looking forward to developing our commitment as Strategic Partners.” Chris Sargisson, CEO of Norfolk Chambers of Commerce said: “This is an exciting time for Norfolk Chambers, and being able to have partners such as Uptech will mean that we can co.nnect with businesses on another level. Cyber security is so incredibly important to all businesses and can cause devasting impacts if not managed correctly. I’m excited to see the co.llaborations that will take place between Uptech and our members, providing support and peace of mind to many Norfolk businesses.” Find out more about Uptech
