Shaping Norfolk Future

Shaping Norfolk's Future is the business-led partnership that works to create wealth and jobs for the people of Norfolk. It brings together the skills, knowledge, talent and flair of the county's private, public and voluntary sector, to help drive Norfolk's economy.

Shaping Norfolk’s Future is a partnership of approximately 300 businesses and organisations spanning the private, public and voluntary sectors.

There is a Management Board which provides overall coordination and direction for the partnership. Day-to-day coordination is provided by a small Core Team, who are responsible for supporting the work of the partnership.

Our shared vision is for Norfolk to have a successful economy; an economy characterised by innovative, dynamic and sustainable businesses. A county where people are skilled and motivated with the opportunities to maximise their potential in a high quality environment.

The key to the successful delivery of this vision is through working with businesses and public and voluntary sector partners.  To ensure a focus and an efficient use of partners’ resources , three main approaches have been developed: delivery through partnership groups which focus on sectors, themes and local areas.
