Located in East Anglia, Norfolk is a very rural area and one of the least densely populated counties in the UK. Its major towns are Norwich, Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth and Thetford. Bordered by Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire, Norfolk is dominated by a large picturesque coastline and the Norfolk Broads so tourism features heavily in the area’s economy.
Norfolk has a vastly diverse economy which includes manufacturing, food processing and engineering. It is not unusual for these companies to require the services of recruitment agencies to source specialist sales & business development staff. If your business needs high-quality locally based traditional or specialist sales staff with a demonstrable track record in achieving results, our close proximity within the region means we’re in a prime position to help you source them.
Transport
The recently improved A11 trunk road connects Norfolk to London and Cambridge. Norfolk is also close to the shipping ports of Felixstowe and Harwich, which have both passenger and cargo terminals. High speed train services run to London and Cambridge frequently, so it is easily accessible by rail and road.
Companies based in Norfolk
Bernard Matthews and Kettle Foods are just two of the well-known brands to originate in Norfolk. As well as agriculture, farming and food production, Norfolk like Suffolk now has a flourishing financial services sector. Companies like Aviva, Marsh and Virgin Money are based in Norwich.
Norfolk has been a major energy hub for the entire UK for some time and is at the centre of the production for much of the UK’s oil and gas. It has now become a centre for the offshore renewables industry.
