A major city business has revealed plans to relocate to new headquarters in Norwich amid rapid growth in recent years.

Energy research firm Cornwall Insight will be leaving The Union Building in Rose Lane after five years and jumping across to spacious new premises at The Atrium in St Georges Street. 

The move comes after the company - which was voted Norfolk Business of the Year at the Norfolk Business Awards 2021 - has nearly doubled in size from 53 employees across the UK in 2018 to 102.

"Norwich is very important to the identity of Cornwall Insight," said Robert Buckley, head of relationship development.

"We have recruited a lot of people from the University of East Anglia and, though we have a lot of technical and skilled workers from across the country, Norwich and Norfolk remain crucial to what we do.

"This move is an opportunity for us to grow and expand the team while also moving closer to the heart of the city centre."
