Nova Fairbank, CEO of Norfolk Chambers of Commerce, explains why it’s celebrating the brilliance of Norfolk’s business community through the EDP Norfolk Business Festival.
The Norfolk Chambers of Commerce is a not-for-profit membership organisation, whose mission is to connect, support and give voice to every business in Norfolk.
We are one of 53 Chambers accredited by the British Chambers of Commerce. From start-up businesses, small and medium enterprises, to global brands, the Norfolk Chambers of Commerce embraces and represents the county’s business community.
We provide networking opportunities, share knowledge, offer business support services, signpost to business opportunities, and inspire innovative thinking to enable companies to do better business.
With a track record of 127 years and a diverse membership, Norfolk Chambers is a leading business network and one of the most respected voices of business in the county.
We’re delighted to support the Norfolk Business Festival, which will help to highlight the dynamism and diversity of the Norfolk business community, from large scale corporates to SMEs and sole traders.
We all know Norfolk is a great place to live and work, but our region also faces challenges, and during the festival we will be hosting an event entitled “Levelling Up for Business – Challenges & Opportunities”.
Taking place on Wednesday, April 17, 8am at College of West Anglia in King’s Lynn, it will look at working with local housing providers, charities and public sector organisations to articulate the challenges and opportunities of a rural/urban economy, including jobs, skills and support.
A successful Norfolk business will have brilliant people, a strong business plan and the ability to adapt to change and innovate along the way. The Norfolk Business Festival allows businesses to celebrate their achievements and helps showcase the breadth and depth of local expertise.
The Norfolk business community is diverse, resilient, innovative and determined. While the majority of that community is SME, we also have world leading organisations, high ranking universities, and an all-energy coast.
It’s the combination of these businesses that drives the local economy, creates the jobs and helps deliver economic growth for our region. The Norfolk Business Festival celebrates that brilliance!
