1.30pm People & Skills
2.30pm An introduction to raising finance
Presenter: Glen Moore
Presenter: Janette Pallas
A highly skilled, flexible workforce is recognised as an essential factor in most successful companies. This workshop will include input from two companies, whose investment in key areas of the workforce has resulted in increased profitability, even in this tough economic environment.
This presentation will provide an introduction to raising finance in the current climate, while offering a taster to the free programme ‘Understanding Finance for Business’.
National Apprenticeship Service (Employer Services Manager)
Businesses across the country are now increasingly realising the enormous benefits that apprenticeships create, not only in terms of a highly skilled workforce, but also by boosting productivity and staff retention. Research shows they are an optimal way of training, developing people for the future and helping businesses secure a supply of people with the skills and qualities they need and which were often not available on the external job market.

The workshop will cover the different issues involved when raising bank, grants or equity finance, while signposting useful sources of information. The Understanding Finance for Business programme has helped regional companies raise over £1.5m from banks, grants and business angels. The highly experienced team of entrepreneurs, investors and advisors helps companies identify which type of funding will work best for their business.
B2B SPRING 2011
Host David McNally Chief Executive Norwich City Football Club
Helping you move your business in the right direction Running an event for 13 years and ensuring it always remains relevant and valuable to regional businesses is no mean feat! Our flagship B2B show has stood the test of time, because we make sure each one is packed full of opportunities, ideas and solutions to help you grow your business… whichever direction you want it to take. It’s also a perfect place to meet a wide spectrum of Norfolk business people, which means you can share opinions and make valuable contacts. In today’s tough economic climate it is vital that events are content-led to maximise the time you spend there. B2B’s tried and tested format delivers this. It is divided into seven themed business zones, so you can quickly find the areas of business most relevant to you. This year we have created a brand new networking area within the People & Skills Zone. It’s called Health & Wellbeing 4Biz, and it will feature a wide range of ideas, solutions and fun interactive activities to help engage businesses with the very serious message that a workforce healthy in mind, body and spirit will bring huge bottom line benefits. B2B has something for everyone. It is held on two floors, with approximately 90 stands, two free topical workshops, special event-only offers, promotions and much more. It also features our own Chamber Zone, where you can meet the team and find out more about the huge benefits of Chamber membership.
“I am excited to be hosting the B2B Spring 2011 event, as it is a fantastic exhibition. With the continually challenging economy that we currently have to contend with, anything that can give your business that cutting edge or an extra spark of inspiration, has to be of benefit. “This B2B event gives businesses a chance to pick up some new ideas and innovations, which is something we are always looking to do at the football club. Given that the event is free to attend for all businesses, I cannot understand why any local business owners or directors wouldn’t come down to see what B2B can offer them.” Prior to joining Norwich City Football Club in June 2009, David McNally was Chief Executive at Fulham and Sales and Marketing Director with Celtic. Before working in the football industry, he held a number of roles at blue chip companies including Courtaulds Textiles, Sara Lee, L’Oreal, Max Factor and Colgate-Palmolive.
We look forward to seeing you at the event – it really is a business opportunity too good to miss! For more information or to book a stand, go to www.B2B11.co.uk

advice & finance
Sponsor: Lloyds TSB Commercial
We are delighted to be sponsoring the Advice & Finance Zone at B2B Spring 2011. Events such as this are absolutely vital to how we can all be more ‘joined up’ in supporting both local businesses and local communities, to get through the current climate and also be better prepared for the upturn. Seeking advice from professionals is one of the main opportunities that these events offer, and we would strongly encourage you to take advantage of the subject matter expertise at the event. It could be the start of a new relationship and maybe a new beginning! Our question to you is “how do you partner with your bank manager?” If this is something that isn’t happening, or something that you’d like to hear more about, why not visit our stand in the Advice & Finance zone? Have a great show. Steve Elsom Area Director, Lloyds TSB Commercial - East Anglia

Sponsor: Norse Commercial Services
The Norfolk-based Norse Group is a dynamic business, bringing together FM provider Norse Commercial Services and property consultancy NPS Group. With a combined turnover in excess of £190 million, Norse Group employs more than 6,000 people. And as one of the country’s leading Facilities Management specialists, and a major employer in the East, Norse recognises the vital importance of having both a skilled and dedicated workforce, and contributing to the communities in which we operate. It is with this in mind that Norse has taken the opportunity to promote one of its current community initiatives, Project Search, at B2B. Introduced at our Head Office in Norwich in 2009, the project, a partnership between Norse, Remploy, Norwich City College, and Norfolk County Council, aims to help young learning disabled people into employment. Now in its second year at Norse, the programme has been hugely successful and proven to be of real value to both the students and employer. Norse is extremely proud of its role as a major player in the Norfolk business community and is confident that this B2B Exhibition will be a great success. Tricia Fuller HR Manager, Norse Commercial Services
We are proud of our long association with the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, and over the years we have benefited greatly from the networking opportunities – especially at B2B events. We also appreciate the endless work the Chamber team does to promote business in Norfolk and lobby the Government on issues which businesses face in rural areas.

Clean Energy Consultancy provides independent and impartial advice for organisations looking to save money on their energy costs and reduce carbon emissions. This may be by investing in renewable technologies, energy efficiency and conservation measures, or often a combination of both. We offer a wide range of cost effective services from simple energy conservation audits, to complete reviews of a business’s operations. Many of our clients are investing large sums of money to reduce their long-term energy costs and carbon footprint. By using our independent advice they will be fully informed of the potential benefits. We can also assist with a wide range of finance packages to help companies move forward with their energy and carbon reduction targets. Sponsoring the Resource & Efficiency zone is a natural progression after we exhibited here last year. We made some excellent contacts within the business community and we aim to build on our relationships with the local sector. East Anglia is at the forefront of the renewable energy business and our clients are seeing the clear financial and marketing benefits that exist for them. B2B is an ideal venue for the business community to come together and forge firm working relationships and we are pleased to be supporting it in this way.

We have recently signed a major deal to offer “Cloud Computing” to local businesses and would be very pleased to discuss this at our stand at B2B. Cloud computing is a way of delivering IT services to users without the need to buy, install or manage expensive infrastructure. These services will include Hosted Virtual Desktop, Hosted Mail, Virtual Server and Voice over IP, which can all be delivered remotely with minimal capital expenditure. It is ideally suited to start-up or rapidly growing businesses, as the IT infrastructure can be scaled up or down depending on business needs. Experts predict that the number of firms running the majority of their IT in ‘The Cloud’ will rise dramatically over the next few years. Breakwater will now be at the forefront of bringing true, vendor independent, enterprise cloud solutions at a fraction of the cost to the local business continuity.

Are you Fit4Work? Norfolk Chamber of Commerce is working in partnership with Active Norfolk, the County Sports Partnership, to offer an exciting new project called Fit4Work, which is free and available to all organisations in Norfolk. The average person spends 60% of their waking time at work and one in five people in Norfolk is obese. This means we need to incorporate sport and activity into the working day. Physically active people take 27% fewer days off, so there is also a real business case for being involved! The Fit4Work project can put together a tailor-made programme for your business, including activity courses, one off tasters, competitions and the Corporate Games on Friday 10 June at UEA Sportspark. Active Norfolk is pleased to have the support of the Norfolk Chamber and hopes that through the partnership it can encourage more businesses in Norfolk to be active in the future.
