Broadland Food Innovation Centre

The Broadland Food Innovation Centre is an ERDF-funded project which supports food & drink businesses in Suffolk and Norfolk to innovate, connect with academia and grow. They support food and drink businesses in Norfolk & Suffolk with the aim of increasing the rate at which we process food & drink in the region, creating economic impact through business growth and jobs. The project consists of three parts:

  • Innovation Support: One-to-One support and advisory services for food & drink businesses in Suffolk & Norfolk (fully funded)

  • Cluster: events and workshops (some face-to-face some online) to bring together businesses, academia and the public sector

  • Space: A specialist centre offering 13 food-grade units, alongside sensory and test kitchens and meeting spaces which are avail to hire.

The project involves contributions from Broadland District Council, the University of East Anglia, Hethel Innovation and the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership.

We have been appointed as PR agency for the final six months of the project to:

  • Raise awareness and understanding of the project with Norfolk & Suffolk food businesses and community

  • Generate interest in participation with the project including facilities at the Centre, business support and events.

  • Generate publicity and awareness for the successful completion of the project in June.

Our work includes:

  • Media Planning - pitching stories to the national and local media

  • Media Relations

  • Creating convincing, relevant and inspiring content

  • Supporting Innovation Centre events through attendance and PR
