Agriculture and Food Processing
The strength of Norfolk's agriculture and food industries, world-class academic research, transport infrastructure and skills will help you realise your business ambitions.
The county's main arteries, the A11, A12 and A47 support the efficient transportation of goods across the UK. In addition, Norfolk's two busy ports serve 19 European counties, providing the gateways to international markets.
Norfolk's wide range of skills and expertise in the industry, such as the vocational excellence of Easton College, which provides extensive sector training and workforce development, can support your business.
Norfolk's strong farming industry supplies a major food processing industry and indeed, many of Norfolk's household names, such as Bernard Matthews, Pinguin Foods and Colmans are built on the agricultural base, whereas others such as Kettle Foods, Heinz and Masterfoods, Linda McCartney have also made Norfolk their home.
The Norfolk Rural Business Advice Service (NRBAS) provides countryside-based business people with professional business support services and The Institute of Food Research is the UK's only integrated science provider focused on food.
