At a recent meeting of West Norfolk Chamber Council, the Council welcomed a new member to the group, Chris Bishop from Archant. The meeting discussion centred around skills in West Norfolk and the need to attract a more people at all levels from skilled engineers, through to senior managers, as well as raising the business profile of West Norfolk.
Members agreed that to attract new employees to the area, the local businesses community needed to raise their profile and ‘shout’ about the great business being done in West Norfolk. There are many fantastic organisations based here, such as Cooper Roller Bearings, Germains Seed Technologies, Omex Agrifluids, Fosters Refrigeration and Adrian Flux Insurance to name but a few – all are Chamber members and together they contribute to a successful West Norfolk economy.
Heather Garrod, the President of West Norfolk Chamber Council said: “It is up to us, the business community of West Norfolk, to make more noise about how much we can offer and ensure the message that ‘West Norfolk is open for business’ is broadcasted to everyone.”
If you are a Chamber member who is passionate about West Norfolk and want to help spread the message that West Norfolk is a fantastic place to live and work, we want to hear from you. The West Norfolk Chamber Council will be holding a debate on what local businesses needs to grow. The debate will be held at the Knights Hill Hotel, South Wootton on 16 June 2014 at 6pm.
