Our Economic Development Team’s aftercare service maintains and develops relationships with key companies and employers, actively encouraging business growth and investment in the local area. Aftercare includes information, advice and guidance to businesses, as well as introductions to other sources of support or information.

The team supports business growth and circulates up to date, relevant information using emails tailored to specific audiences, as well as facilitating networking between local manufacturing businesses.

Strong relationships are maintained with external partner organisations to help business development, such as the Institute for Manufacturing and Cambridge University, and internal departments for example Planning Control and Environmental Health.

Events such as the Mayor’s Business Awards give the Council an opportunity to celebrate business achievements in West Norfolk.
