Championing Norfolk as a great place to live, work and do business.
Norfolk Ambassadors are respected leaders from business, education, and public life, using their influence to promote Norfolk as a place for growth, innovation, and opportunity.
The Norfolk Ambassadors Programme is a growing, county-wide movement that brings together real people with one thing in common: pride in Norfolk. Whether in business, education, public service or volunteering, Ambassadors are helping to tell Norfolk’s story.
This isn’t about jobs titles, it’s about action. The Norfolk Ambassadors have focused on:
Championing Norfolk as a place to live, work and invest.
Speaking at events and promoting the region.
Sharing insights with decision-makers.
Celebrating our local culture, people and innovation.
The Norfolk Ambassadors Programme is proud to support and be supported by the Norfolk Business Board – a passionate collective of business leaders, educators, voluntary sector voices and local government representatives.
The Norfolk Business Board is a cross-sector group of business leaders, educators, voluntary sector representatives, and local government partners. They champion inclusive economic growth across the region.
Formed after the integration of New Anglia LEP into Norfolk County Council, the Board has a clear mission:
But here’s the thing: success isn’t just about boardrooms and strategy papers. It’s about local pride. It’s about understanding what makes Norfolk feel like Norfolk, and making that matter to investors, policymakers, and the next generation.
That’s why the Business Board is backing this programme. Because your story is Norfolk’s story, and it’s time the world got to hear about it.
Why Norfolk is a separate initiative from the Norfolk Ambassadors Programme.
It’s an open invitation to everyone across the county; residents, business owners, employees, students, and community leaders, to share their unique perspectives on what makes Norfolk special.
Whether you live here, work here, or run a business here, your story matters. Through your words, photos, or videos, we’re building a people-powered picture of Norfolk: the perfect place to live, work, and grow a business.
