Ambassador Toolkit

Everything you need to champion Norfolk, all in one place.

The Norfolk Ambassadors Toolkit brings together clear, credible and shareable information to help our team of ambassadors promote Norfolk beyond the county.

It has been designed to support anyone with a stake in Norfolk’s success to talk confidently about our economy, our thriving sectors and our future potential. By consistently sharing stories about the county, our aim is to show influencers and decision-makers that Norfolk is a place of possibility.

We’re already delivering huge economic value nationally and globally. And, with serious government backing and long-term commitment, this county can unleash its full potential and deliver for the UK economy, our communities and future generations.

The message is simple: use the documents, share the messages and champion Norfolk at every opportunity.

By speaking with one voice, we can raise the county’s profile, strengthen its reputation and position Norfolk as the natural choice for inward investment.

Together, let’s share Norfolk’s story.

All these toolkit materials are free to view, download and share.

Norfolk: The Centre of Tomorrow

Norfolk, The Centre of Tomorrow is a concise four-page document packed with headline facts and insights that showcase Norfolk as a place of possibility and opportunity.

A quick read, it’s full of shareable information and stats, designed to help Norfolk Ambassadors explain the national economic impact Norfolk already delivers, while making the case for further investment, advocacy and accelerated growth.

The Norfolk Key Message Suite

Building on the Norfolk, the Centre of Tomorrow summary headline document, the Key Message Suite brings together the facts, evidence and sector insights needed to articulate a clear and compelling narrative about Norfolk’s economy, both today and in the future.

Each focusing on a key sector, the documents highlight Norfolk’s key strengths and differentiators, provides evidence of impact at regional, national and international levels, and sets out clear priorities for future growth.

The key message documents were developed through an extensive collaborative process involving sector workshops and contributions from more than 130 partners across Norfolk’s business, education and innovation communities. This approach has helped ensure the content is evidence-based, credible and consistent in tone and structure.

The Key Message Suite has been designed to provide a very practical resource to help advocates speak confidently about not only your own sector, but the full breadth of Norfolk’s economic strengths. So please use the documents in meetings, presentations, networking events: whenever you are talking about Norfolk.

By speaking with one voice, we can raise the county’s profile, strengthen its reputation and position Norfolk as the natural choice for inward investment.

Sharing practical facts, clear messages and compelling evidence of the impact already being delivered here, and what more is possible with sustained investment and backing, now is the time to share Norfolk’s story even further.
