When it comes to standing out at busy events like the Suffolk Show, you need more than a pop-up banner and a bowl of sweets. That’s exactly why accountancy firm Larking Gowen brought us in – and why Phoebe, our interactive robot photo booth, became the unexpected star of the show.
Phoebe was booked for just the first day, but she caused such a stir that Larking Gowen asked her back for day two as well. And honestly, we weren’t surprised.
She’s no ordinary robot. Phoebe greets guests, gets people smiling, and offers something genuinely different – a fun, branded photo experience right there on the spot. Visitors could take a selfie with Phoebe and walk away with a printed photo featuring the Larking Gowen logo. It was a conversation starter, a souvenir, and a subtle bit of marketing all rolled into one.
While other stands were handing out flyers, Larking Gowen had queues of people excited to meet the robot. Phoebe didn’t just entertain – she helped turn footfall into meaningful engagement.
Whether you’re an accountancy firm, a hotel group, or launching a new product, events are all about getting noticed – and remembered. Our robot photo booth helps you do both.
So, if you’re planning your next exhibition or event and want to make sure your stand is the one people are talking about… you know where to find us.

Event Press Release
Norwich Airport has been named among the UK’s top six airports in a national survey by consumer champion Which?, earning the coveted ‘Recommended Provider’ status.
With a customer score of 72%, the airport performed strongly in areas such as customer service, security and check-in. Its sister airports Exeter and Bournemouth, which are all part of the Regional & City Airports group, are also in the top six, with Exeter ranked number one.
The survey, which gathered feedback from almost 6,000 passengers, rated airports across categories including customer service, security queues, bag drop and seating.
Norwich’s balance of convenience, accessibility and strong customer service earned it one of the highest ratings nationwide.
Passengers praised its efficient operations, shorter queues and relaxed atmosphere compared with larger hubs, highlighting Norwich as a convenient and welcoming gateway for the region.
Richard Pace, Managing Director of Norwich Airport, said: “We are very proud to be recognised once again by Which? as one of the best airports in the UK. This result recognises the dedication of our team who work tirelessly to deliver a smooth, efficient, and enjoyable experience for our passengers.
“To be recommended directly by those who use our services is especially meaningful and reinforces our focus on quality, regional connectivity, and customer care.
“What makes this even more rewarding is that Exeter and Bournemouth – our sister airports within the Regional & City Airports group – have also been recognised among the UK’s top six. That consistency demonstrates the strength of RCA and a shared commitment to excellent customer service right across the group.”
Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel said: “Next time you’re booking a flight, it’s well worth considering not just your choice of airline but also your airport – it could make all the difference to the start of your getaway and maybe even get that holiday feeling started a little sooner.”
Norwich Airport now serves 19 destinations and in the year to March 2025 welcomed almost 430,000 passengers, a 23% increase on the previous year buoyed by new routes with Ryanair. The accolade comes at a time of strong growth for the airport, underlining its role as a vital regional hub for both leisure and business travel across the eastern region and the North Sea energy sector.
Join us for an evening of connection, insight and opportunity at Broadland and South Norfolk Council Offices hosted by Corporate Partnerships Manager, Sham Golamy.
At Council Culture: LIVE, you’ll get a rare look behind the scenes of how council partnerships with businesses help to shape the places we live, work and thrive.
We are delighted to welcome Ian Currie from Sizewell C as our guest speaker.
Daisy Larkan from Laylo luxury boxed and canned wines will also be sharing her story about substainable wine and is bringing samples for everyone to taste!
If you are a local business, supplier, or public sector partner, this event is your chance to:
Network with fellow professionals in a relaxed, open environment
Hear how our Corporate Partnerships are helping local businesses grow, connect and stand out
Discover opportunities to collaborate with the council from sponsorships to shared initiatives
See our offices in action and meet the people behind the scenes

This event is kindly sponsored by Citrus Security Shredding.
Norwich Airport has launched an
innovative AI-powered wayfinding system aimed at enhancing the travel
experience for passengers with additional needs.
In what is believed to be a UK-first,
the airport has teamed up with a local company called Access to Words to
provide passengers with on-demand multi-lingual support in British Sign
Language, spoken words, large print and easy-read formats to help them navigate
their way around the airport.
At the heart of the system is an AI-generated
avatar called Cassie, developed in-house by Norwich-based Access to Words using
motion capture technology and certified professional British Sign Language signers.
This ‘synthetic signer’ uses sign
language to convey a range of information alongside the options to hear the
instructions out loud, and to read them in large typeface.
Using a series of QR codes placed in
the terminal building and airport car parks, passengers can scan these codes
using their smartphones to access a library of key routes through the airport.
These include, for example, how to go from the car parks to the main terminal
entrance, or from the Assisted Travel Desk to the check-in desks, security area
or departures.
The step-by-step navigation guides offer
detailed instructions to provide real-time, personalised assistance, ensuring
that all passengers, regardless of their mobility or sensory needs, can
navigate the airport confidently and independently.
Dan Bean, Ground Handling and Safety Manager
at Norwich Airport,
said: “We’re excited to have launched this cutting-edge technology in
partnership with Access to Words. Every year we support thousands of passengers
with assisted travel and this technology will help anyone find their way
around, whether they have additional needs or not. Our aim is to provide a
seamless and inclusive travel experience for everyone using the airport. Anyone
wanting to try out the new technology can visit the Assisted Travel page on our
website.”
Adrian Pickering, founder of Access
to Words, who has a background in
machine learning and artificial intelligence, said: “We’re delighted that
Norwich Airport has adopted our technology, which is the first time it’s been
used in an airport. Our whole ethos is about making communication accessible,
not just to people who may be sight or hearing impaired, but also dyslexic people,
those with low literacy and international audiences.
“Norwich Airport is fantastic because
when it comes to accessibility it’s not a check-box exercise for them, they go
far and beyond and it’s embedded in the way they think and work. They really
care about making the airport experience as painless and enjoyable as possible
for all passengers, and it’s great to be part of that.”
Access to Words is hoping its
technology will be adopted by other airports and is in discussions with health
service providers about offering wayfinding in hospitals and clinics using QR
codes and links on patient communications.

Flagship Group – solving the housing crisis in the East of England.
Nadine Tapp Head of Group Academy tells us why the LSIP is important to them.
“As Chair of the Building Growth sector group, I’ve seen first-hand the difference a strong, responsive skills system can make. Working with the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) has given me clearer insight into the skills landscape – and a platform to voice the real challenges employers like Flagship face”.
“At Flagship, we’ve always taken a hands-on approach to training and growing new talent. But partnering with the LSIP has helped sharpen that focus. It’s allowed us to raise concerns, highlight gaps, and work closer with local providers. A great example is our collaboration with one of our local colleges – a relationship that grew through this work and helped us win the LSIP Sponsored Large Employer Award at the Norfolk Apprenticeships Awards.”
“I’m also proud to contribute as a Keystone Employer for the LSIP, where I can bring a housing and construction perspective to the table and help shape a skills agenda that’s built around the needs of our sector and our places”.
Cyber attack concerns? You’re not imagining it. You’re just paying attention.
When even M&S and Co-op are getting hacked, it’s probably time to stop relying on the digital equivalent of cling film to keep your business safe.
Cyber attacks are on the rise — and SMEs are firmly in the crosshairs. Why? Because hackers know smaller businesses often have weaker defences (and yes, they will try “password123”).
At Beacon IT, we’re on a mission to make cyber security feel less like a panic button and more like common sense.
