The Apprenticeship Levy came into effect from April 2017. As an employer you will have to pay this levy if you have an annual pay bill in excess of £3 million, or are connected with other organisations which in total have a pay bill in excess of £3 million. As a consequence, there are many questions that employers are asking themselves: How is the levy calculated and how do I know if two organisations are connected? We don’t currently employ apprentices so how can I make use of the levy we are paying? What are our legal obligations with respect to taking on an apprentice? Along with Easton&Otley College, we would be delighted if you could join us as we bring together an expert group of speakers from Lovewell Blake and Easton+Otley College, along with a round table Q&A discussion led by Norfolk County Council, to help to explain the various issues around this subject, from a variety of perspectives. Timings: 5.30 pm Registration 5.45 pm Presentations 6.45 pm Round table Q&A discussion followed by a buffet supper Book your place here

Great Yarmouth Borough Council’s Economic Development Unit has organised the drop-in event, at the successful Enterprise Zone, as part of its commitment to working closely with partners to support economic growth and job-creation.
Taking place between 11am and 2pm, at Unit 3, Malory Road, one of the highlights will be the opportunity to find out more about exporting from the Department of International Trade’s Export Hub, an impressive exhibition truck which is touring the region.
Alongside this, the advisors from New Anglia Growth Hub will be on hand to provide details of grants of up to £500,000. Groundwork will be on hand to offer guidance about BEE Anglia Business Energy Efficiency Grants of up to £20,000, in addition to providing free guidance on business resilience, with a particular focus on flooding.

In addition, the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR), Norfolk Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses will be on hand to offer advice and promote local business networking events.
enterpriseGY, the borough council’s business support service, will be available to help businesses with their applications for the Spirit of Enterprise Awards, which are now in their 10th year and offer the opportunity for businesses to raise their profile in the borough.
Cllr Paul Hammond, vice chairman of the economic development committee, said: “There is a significant amount of support available in the borough for businesses, including grants and expert guidance, offered through various different organisations.
“This free drop-in surgery is really useful because it enables businesses to meet all these organisations under one roof, discuss the full range of advice and opportunities available, and really reap the benefits.
“This is all part of the borough council’s important work to support and encourage businesses to invest in, grow within and relocate to the borough. It is also fitting that we are staging the surgery at Beacon Park, an energy hub and top Enterprise Zone site.”
