Norfolk Chamber welcomes the news that the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership will be helping to create at least 1,000 new private sector jobs after securing £9m from the Government’s Regional Growth Fund.
The cash will be used to massively expand the LEP’s Growing Business Fund, which offers grants for business expansion of between £25,000 and £100,000.
The scheme was established after the LEP secured £3m from a previous round of the Regional Growth Fund. Now the fund will have £12m to distribute to firms across Suffolk and Norfolk.
The current Growing Business Fund is currently restricted to businesses within Greater Norwich, Greater Ipswich, Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas.
However, the additional funding will enable the scheme to be expanded across the entire LEP area – the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Dozens more businesses will be able to benefit from the scheme, which now has a target of creating at least 1,000 jobs.
Following today’s announcement (Wednesday) the LEP will begin a period of finalising contract terms with the Government, with the provisional allocation expected by early autumn.

She has been using social media since the early days and set up her social media business in 2013.

Saturday, 13 July, sees the start of a new producers’ market, located in the town’s historic Saturday Market Place, giving people the chance to buy high-quality meats, fruits and vegetables, chutneys and sauces, gluten-free cakes and a range of home-made ready meals.
The initiative, which has been spearheaded by local restaurateurs Richard and Lucy Golding of the Market Bistro, is designed to meet the demand for high-quality local produce, as well as encouraging new visitors to King’s Lynn historic quarter.
The market will take place between 10am and 2pm on Saturday, 13 July and then on the second Saturday (10am-2pm) of every month until December 2013. Producers taking part are The Fruit Pig Company, Alfie’s Fresh Produce, Plum Tree Kitchen, Glu-10-3, Somerville House Cookery and the Market Bistro.
Lucy Golding explained: “As part of the Hanse Day celebrations on the 25 May this year, we organised a local producers’ market with some of our suppliers which was really well received amongst residents and visitors. It was a delight to see so many people buzzing around the Saturday Market Place and we felt that there was an opportunity to be explored.
“Saturday Market Place is an oft-forgotten part of town, and yet it’s one of the most interesting and historic areas with the Town Hall, King’s Lynn Minster and Hanse House all in the vicinity. We hope that this monthly market will encourage more people to this end of town which will in turn help support other businesses in and around the Saturday Market Place.”
The Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk have supported the initiative by offering the use of the council’s 6 gazebos and the space on the Saturday Market Place free of charge for the first four markets.
Cllr Alistair Beales, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, added: “The council is keen to support initiatives that will encourage more people into the town centre and we are delighted that our Hanse Day celebrations have led to the development of this mini market. We wish Market Bistro and the producers every success and would encourage people to come along and support them.”

Commenting on the Transport Secretary’s announcement of reforms to the way Britain’s road network is managed, Caroline Williams CEO Norfolk Chamber, said:
“Business growth requires a road network that’s well maintained, congestion free and upgraded where necessary. For too long, the Highways Agency has been struggling to deliver on these requirements.
“So we welcome the announcement that the Highways Agency is to become a public corporation, managed in a more business-like fashion, and that it will have the same sort of five-year funding certainty that has helped to improve the rail network in recent years.
“Business has had enough of ‘stop-start Britain’. We’ll be watching closely to ensure that these changes enable companies and their employees to move full speed ahead on a better national road network. We will also urge ministers to bring forward some of the new road maintenance spending they’ve promised after 2015, as urgent action to maintain our roads is required now. We will also continue to call for improvements to the A47 which is currently claiming so many lives”

A multidisciplinary team from Ashtons Legal has recently advised Camgrain Stores Limited in relation to their involvement in a new multi-million pound, state of the art, oat processing plant in Northamptonshire.
The other parties involved in the creation of new entity Navara Oat Milling Limited were Frontier Agriculture Limited and Anglian Maltings (Holdings) Limited. Along with Camgrain Stores, the plant will be owned and run through the new Navara Oat Milling brand.
The Kettering plant, which has already started to be constructed, will be the largest, most modern oat-processing facility in Europe. Expected to complete in 2023, it will produce oat ingredients for the food and drink industry.
Advising Camgrain Stores on the venture were partners Paul Whittingham and Geoff Hazlewood from Ashtons’ Corporate and Commercial Team. They were ably assisted by partner Simon Cunningham from the firm’s top-tier Agriculture & Estates Team.
Paul Whittingham said: “Myself and the team at Ashtons’ are delighted to have assisted Camgrain and their co-operative members on this exciting project which will meet the ever increasing demand for oat ingredients which we all use in our day-to-day lives.”
Simon Willis, Group CEO of Camgrain Stores adds “We would like to thank, Paul, Geoff, Simon and the team at Ashtons for their professional help and guidance completing the complex legal documents requirement to conclude the Navara Oat Milling, Joint Venture Agreement. The new joint venture will see the plant built alongside our existing Camgrain Advanced Processing Centre in Northants. This is great news for our farmer members as it expands opportunities for them with an increasingly sought-after cereal grain and will involve them in projects such as the development of new varieties. It’s good to be bringing advanced technology to the UK food supply chain, adding value not just to farmers, but also to the local community.”
