On Thursday 21 August over 60 delegates joined us for an evening of fashion, networking and a lot of fun! This year’s Look the Business was held at Jarrold in their newly refurbished Benji’s cafe with Norfolk Chamber being one of the first to hold an event there.
The evening got started with a fun networking activity called Who Am I? Each delegate had a sticker with a famous person’s name on their back and they had to guess who they were in teams asking only yes or no questions, while indulging with a glass of wine and delicious canapés being served.
Andrew Thorpe, Finance Director at Jarrold talked to the delegates about how Jarrold has positioned itself to compete successfully in the increasingly popular multi-channel retailing. He explained that a combination of fantastic staff, increase of online presence, locally sourced products as well as an outstanding reputation that can bring in global brands has helped to make them stand oput in the marketplace.
It was then on to the much anticipated part of the evening the skincare demo and fashion show. Beauty experts from Clinque let the delegates try out some testers and a new product – sonic brushes. This led onto the fashion show, where delegates got to see three styles; casual, smart/casual and special occasions modelled by both males and females from Jarrold.
The event finished with an exclusive hour for the delegates to go shopping along with a 20% discount for that night only. There was such a great buzzing atmosphere all evening with lots of delegates tweeting.

With HP, Google & Sony all providing you with the chance to have a go with some of the most recent technology products. Sponsored by Customised Ltd.To book your place or for more details click here.
Onshore wind farms have been in the press recently with mixed messages coming out from government. However the Norfolk Chamber is clear that offshore wind farms and the current and potential investment from Norfolk Chamber member East Anglia Offshore Wind (EAOW) and its contractors is good news for the Norfolk business community. EAOW is a joint venture between Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) and Vattenfall.
To date EAOW have invest £7m in East Anglia and they have made it clear during conversations we have been having with them that they are trying to use local contractors where possible to ensure the region benefits as much as possible from jobs and investment as a result of the scheme. With support from Brandon Lewis MP I have written to John Hayes to ask for a meeting with him in Westminster, and have already organised a lunch with him and industry leaders in May 2013 after his keynote speech at our Sustainability 2013 conference on 9 May 2013 at John Innes, Norwich.
Ann Stewart economic cabinet members Norfolk County Council and I met up with Andy Paine EAOW programme director in Barrrow in Furness in September prior to visiting Vattenfall’s latest offshore wind farm Ormonde. Andy is clear that with the help and support of local contractors East Anglia Offshore Wind is making strong progress and is on schedule to lodge their first application for consent this year. Further opportunities will become available as the wind farm progresses through its consenting, construction and operations phases.
EAOW has already placed a number of contracts with companies in the region and that over the last two years, as part of plans to build one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world; it estimates it has helped support almost 170 jobs across East Anglia through its investments.
These include Chamber member Gardline marine services, marine researcher Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas), fisheries consultants Brown and May, online consultation experts Consense, consultants Eastern Edge and land agents Freedom Group who are all working on East Anglia ONE, the first phase of the East Anglia Zone
There is still work for Norfolk members to do however to ensure that investment comes to this area and not further up the east coast. As mentioned earlier Ann Stewart Economic Cabinet member for Norfolk County Council and I spent time with Andy Paine and his team including Vattenfall’s President and CEO Oystein Loseth celebrating the official opening of Vattenfall’s newest 30 turbine Offshore Wind Farm Osmonde just off Bury in Furness in September 2012. My pictures tell their own tale!
Until I physically visited the Osborne Wind farm I had found it is quite difficult to understand the size of these turbines but seeing is believing. Each jacket foundations is 45 metres high and weights approximately 500 tonnes or putting it another way each individual jacket will weigh as much as 70 African elephants and if all thirty jackets were stacked end-to-end they would be 13 times higher than the Forth Rail Bridge! The Osmonde turbines cover an area of 8.7km2 and will meet the needs of more than 100,000 UK households so the development being planned by EAOW to power over five million homes is truly amazing
The four hour boat trip out to the Ormonde Windfarm with high winds, rain and significant swell convinced me that I am not looking for at a career change… but it did convince me that the potential for this region is vast. Norfolk and Suffolk Chambers are having regular meetings with EAOW and will feedback supply chain opportunities to our members as and when they become clear. In addition we will continue to lobby government so that they fully understand the importance of offshore wind farms to the UK economy and start to give some certainty to the industry.
During these unprecedented times, more people are working remotely. How your business deals with discipline and grievance may need to be adapted but it must still follow employment legislation. This 3 hour digital event will provide you with an overview of the Acas Code of Practice and the key skills you need to confidently manage discipline and grievance procedures in your workplace and remotely.
Business need
Poorly handled processes can lead to costly employment tribunals. Workplace problems that are tackled early take up less time and are more unlikely to damage working relationships, resulting in improved staff motivation and increased productivity. Having effective and compliant procedures in place can encourage employees to observe the rules and workplace standards whilst maintaining good working relationships. The Acas Code of practice on discipline and grievance details the basic requirements of fairness and reasonable behaviour when handling discipline and grievance procedures. Delivered to you via Zoom, you will have the opportunity to interact with our knowledgeable trainers and discuss some of the challenges you may be facing.
All delegates will receive an electronic certificate of attendance for their participation in the training.
Suitable For
Delegates from all sectors of industry including: managers, supervisors, team leaders, HR professionals, business owners, Trade Union representatives, employee representatives and individuals who wish to enhance their CPD.

If you happen to be a natural introvert, the very thought of promoting yourself at work probably feels more like an unwelcome chore rather an opportunity to develop your career. Also, the Brits’ rather polite culture can make self-selling seem a bit crass.
However, there are moments in our working life when we really shouldn’t shy away from the spotlight – especially when everyone stands to benefit.
We all know someone who talks very loudly about their numerous accomplishments and, understandably, you may prefer to avoid becoming known as the office bragger. Yet, it’s very possible to get the attention you deserve without over-egging it. And there’s even a place for subtly.
At Pure we meet very talented professionals from Cambridgeshire, Essex Norfolk and Suffolk who feel daunted by this aspect of career progression. We don’t want you to risk being overlooked at work; read on to find out how you can self-promote without feeling too pushy!
1. Start with your confidence
You think that you’re great at your job. You may also suspect very strongly that if you left, your employer would find it difficult to replace you. Turn such beliefs into certainties: write down your key accomplishments and how they’ve helped the company. This can help build a strong foundation for greater self-assurance. People will notice without you uttering a word – confident body language does all the talking for you.
2. Bid farewell to fear
“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” So proclaimed former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt,. Take his words as inspiration. Look at what you’re afraid of when it comes to talking about achievements or putting forward ideas. Is it rejection? Are you scared of looking foolish? Acknowledge your doubts, but simply put them to one side and do it anyway. The chances are that you’ll discover you had nothing to worry about and that your ideas have made a valuable contribution
3. Impress others
Finding your voice isn’t just about communication. Passion is infectious and people want to work with colleagues who value what they do. Be open with colleagues about why you enjoy your job. Turn problems into obstacles that can be overcome by adopting a positive approach. Deliver consistently great work and offer to support others with advice. This way you’ll raise your profile while building solid relationships across the company.
4. Go beyond your comfort zone
If you want to be noticed for your achievements, you need to take steps to create them in the first place. By seeing things from different perspectives and exploring outside you’re usual routine you get to develop your skills and discover new abilities. You might even catch the eye of a senior colleague who needs someone like you to help create new opportunities for the business.
5. Be smart
Aimless bragging is not the way forward. It’s annoying for others and it can smack of over-compensating for lack of real skill. If you want to voice your opinion or highlight a recent success, choose your moment wisely. For instance, reminding your line manager of the big, new deal you’ve just reeled in at a team meeting probably won’t go down well if colleagues have been struggling and the mood is strained. It’s simple: think before you speak – timing is everything!
6. Show integrity
If you have a fantastic idea, make sure you have the knowledge and background research to back up why you think it would work. You need to be ready to answer questions without fudging it. A little preparation to construct your business case – whether it’s for a meeting or a one-to-one – will help keep you focused and confident.
Finding your voice without treading on toes may take effort, but it’s the sensible alternative to becoming the human version of a flashing neon sign. Let your talents glow and persuade, rather than dazzle and daze. It’s time to get out there and show them what you’re made of!
If you have made the decision to join the Chamber to promote your business or to get involved in the network that works together to affect the business landscape, you will be part of a dynamic business network with forward thinking businesses.
Members are the ‘DNA’ of the Chamber and successful businesses members need an equally dynamic and forward thinking Chamber to help them grow even further. Working with our members, we have developed a range services that support you in being more successful in business, by offering a comprehensive range of systems, events and services to enable forward thinking businesses to have a platform from which they can really boost their local business profile and learn from other successful business leaders.
So how do our successful business members use the Chamber services? Well, below are some great tips on the kinds of services that our dynamic businesses use as Chamber Members:
Promote their business successes in our online media: You don’t have to leave your office to engage with the Chamber and our members. Being loud and proud about your achievements or your work in the community can have a huge impact on your brand profile and get your business recognised. We allow members to upload their good news stories on our website at www.norfolkchamber.co.uk. Popular articles will be considered for this magazine so make your content count;
Tip: When you use our online media, remember that we then promote that content via our social media channels to thousands of businesses, so it’s vital to make sure you have content that is engaging and will grab people’s attention.
Offer other Chamber members a discount on products and services: Being together as part of the network means your amongst likeminded business who may be your next customer. Why not upload a Chamber exclusive special offer to our website for other members to enjoy.
Tip: Use our media to promote a launch of a new service or product and then why not link your article to a special offer for members to maximising your exposure.
Learn from other successful businesses at our free training sessions: Our Chamber sessions are free and run by Norfolk’s very own top business professionals who will give tips and training in their field,. They are designed to give you a whole range of business topics to choose from that will really help you take those steps in growing and bettering your business.
Tip: If you have looked at the above tip and wondered “what kind of content shall I promote?” Then why not attend our Online Digital media range to get some tips on content for your articles and using online media to promote yourself effectively.
Stand out and share your knowledge with a blog: You no doubt are a professional in what you do or you may have had success in a certain area of business so why not share this knowledge to the business community and raise your personal and business profile. Our Knowledge section of our website enables you to upload your very own professional blog that will be sent out via social media for others to enjoy.
Get Involved and allocate time to attend Chamber events, Its time well spent: All too often I get told by members that they “don’t have time to attend events”. Attending events should be a fundamental part of your business development plan and enables you to interact with other business leaders who may be your next customer or may point you to someone who is. They may even just give you that key piece of advice that takes you and your business to the next level.
Tip:Don’t avoid policy orientated or political events. In fact if you can only attend a few then pick those. Our region’s most influential businesses are part of the Chamber because they want to help us influence policy and have their say. Influential people in these organisations attend these events so if you want to meet our Gold Patrons and the decision makers of big and small businesses then these are defiantly a must.
Sponsor an event, it’s a very cost effect way to really grab people’s attention: The Norfolk Chamber events are well known for their high quality, influential speakers and attracting media attention. Sponsoring an event gives you instant brand exposure to senior business leaders not just at the event but via social media/website and even in the media. All this for a lot less money than you think.
Tip:Lots of businesses spend thousands of pounds on adverts in magazines and publications without considering sponsoring an event. You may be surprised to find the cost can be cheaper to sponsor a Chamber event and have a greater impact.
Get to know us: You have paid for your membership, so let us help you use it. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with our membership team, who are on hand to help you with registering on the website, engaging with the services and give you advice on which events are available.
We want to know more about you so we can help you use our events and services to enable you maximise the benefits of your membership.
Remember, getting involved is everything.Joining the Chamber is like joining a gym. If you don’t go and use it, you won’t get the benefits that you joined for in the first place.

The Food Information Regulations 2014– what do these mean for your business?
The Regulations, which come into force in December 2014, will require allergy information to be provided on non pre-packed foods including those sold in Catering & Licensed businesses such as pubs, hotels, restaurants, take-aways, staff canteens and cafés. In addition foods supplied at events will also be covered, e.g. wedding buffets. Under the rules, the 14 food allergens listed in the Regulation, including peanuts, milk, eggs and cereals containing gluten, will need to be specifically highlighted to customers.
The purpose of the Regulations is to reduce the incidence of allergen adverse reaction by consumers eating undeclared allergens.
Food Business Operators will be able to provide allergy information in the ways that best suit their individual business. Some businesses will have fixed menus, others menus that are changing frequently. The provision of information on a menu, a chalkboard or as part of a conversation with staff will secure compliance with the Regulations. However, in reality it is likely to be difficult to demonstrate effective compliance if a business relies only on verbal communication by staff.
Therefore, if your business sells non pre-packed foods you should begin to review your menus, train staff, engage with suppliers as to ingredients and review food preparation (in terms of cross-contamination) over the coming months, to ensure that they will be in a position to comply with the Regulation from 13th December 2014 onwards.
The regulations will be enforced by both Environmental Health & Trading Standards Staff from the local council
The key messages for Food Business Operators are;
Make sure that the information that you have on your ingredients is up to date
Keep up to date ingredients information for any ready-made foods that are bought in (for example, packaging, or website details from your suppliers)
When preparing food, make sure you know what is in the ingredients you are using- for example cooking oils, dressings, toppings, sauces, garnishes- again this will need to be kept up to date
Ensure you staff are aware of allergens, and what to do when any ingredient or menu changes are made
Think about how allergenic ingredients are stored and labelled on your premises
Be careful of cross contamination- boards, utensils, serving spoons, woks etc
Thoroughly clean work surfaces and equipment, and wash hands before making food for someone with an allergy
The new allergen requirements will also apply to labels on pre-packed foods. Pre-packed foods containing any of the 14 allergenic ingredients must be labelled so that the allergenic ingredients are clearly referred to. Allergens must be emphasised in the ingredients list of a product using a different typeset (for example bold). The ‘allergy information boxes’ that customers in the UK are familiar with will not be permitted if they repeat the allergens in the ingredients list, but can be used to refer customers to the ingredients list.
Responsibility for the information on labels will rest with the operator under whose name the food is marketed or the importer into the EU (so for ‘own brand’ products, the responsibility will rest with the brand). However, even operators (including retailers) who do not affect the information at all, must not supply food which they know or presume has non-compliant labelling.
The regulators & the Food Standards Agency will be issuing guidance before December and indeed the FSA has updated its online Allergy training- this is open to all; the training can be found here https://food.gov.uk/policy-advice/allergyintol/#.UtcANdJdW8A This training is suitable for business owners & senior members of staff, who can then go on to train other staff
Businesses will be committing an offence if;
The Food Safety Management System lacks Allergen Management Practices
There is poor training/ knowledge/ understanding
There is poor communication from the business to the consumer
In England and Wales, the primary mechanism for enforcement will be information & guidance followed by the issuing of improvement notices & sampling in accordance with councils’ Enforcement Policies; The primary objective is to achieve compliance in the most effective way. Interventions by the Enforcing Authorities will be in accordance with risk – think “reasonably practicable” & “due diligence” Appeals to improvement Notices will be to Tribunals (more guidance will be issued in due course). Enforcement officers will enquire about Allergen Management on routine inspections and advisory visits, but will also respond to incidents & complaints
In summary, before December Food Business Operators should;
Understand Allergens & the link into your current Food Safety Management System/ HACCP
The weather – and its effects on counties, towns and cities across England and Wales – has been dominant this week.
In the weeks to come, and as the initial effects of the flooding begin to fade from the scene, the Norfolk Chamber will be advocating for:
A fair deal from insurers – with swift compensation for affected businesses, and clarity on future cover and costs. The Association of British Insurers has set out customer commitments on flooding that we will be watching carefully.
Help for affected companies – including proposals for zero-interest or low-cost loans to help companies rebuild or relocate
Action on transport resilience – with short-term action to ensure roads and railways are open, and longer-term action to ensure networks can withstand future weather events
Better coordination – with the police, local authorities, and key agencies listening to the needs of businesses and acting accordingly.
Ministers have also asked for our help to explain how government is helping businesses. At the request of Number 10, you can find out more about the government’s relief efforts here.
Thanks in part to our representations, the Prime Minister has already announced 100% business rate relief for affected businesses, and three months’ extra time to pay on VAT, PAYE, and Corporation Tax. It’s vital for companies to call HMRC’s hotline to set up these arrangements.
With luck, the severe weather that has affected us in recent weeks will soon pass. Yet we know that the recovery will take time, and will stay on the case. If you’d like to highlight specific issues tied to recent weather events, please do get in touch cw@norfolkchamber.co.uk.

Your business has gone well and now you have too much work to do!
So now, you think you need an employee to grow the business.
Firstly, if you are doing everything, look at the admin tasks you can give to someone else or automate.
For example, who enjoys doing the bookkeeping or procedures.
There are good bookkeepers who are freelance. For as little as an hour a week, they will keep things in order and probably lower the accountant’s fee at the end of the year.
There are health and safety specialists who write procedures for a living.
There are people who word process from dictation at all hours.
Use something like google diaries and ask for access to your subcontractors’ diaries.
There are others.
After these adjustments, you will spend more time using your real expertise with less irritation. If you still have more than enough work. Do you know others that will freelance with you and not steal your customers?
Draw up an agreement you can find sources to cover the issues. However, the experience, loyalty and motivation of the person are much more important. What will they do when tempted with short-term gain versus delayed gratification? If they do not pass this test, you do not want them. (put Marshmallow Test into Google).
You need to make sure they are really self-employed see https://www.hmrc.gov.uk/calcs/esi.htm None of the above involves any major change in cash flows. If you want to take on an employee, it does involve looking at cash flow and the employment laws.
