A city firm has partnered with the UEA’s Norwich Business School to grow businesses in East Anglia.
Chadwicks, a financial planning and wealth management firm based in Norwich, says the new partnership aims to help business owners in the region build more resilient and valuable companies.
It launches with two events: a free Value Acceleration Breakfast on September 10, followed by a two-day Three-Year Value Acceleration Programme on November 18 and 19, both held at the UEA’s Norwich Business School.
Richard Ross, a director at Chadwick, said: “This is a genuinely different proposition from most SME [small and medium-sized enterprises] growth courses.
“Rather than chasing more turnover or more headcount, it's about getting more value from what a business already has.”
East Anglia is home to an estimated 560,000 SMEs, with Norfolk and Suffolk having a notably higher-than-average population of business owners aged 55 to 65, and Norwich having an above-average proportion of medium-sized firms.
These businesses are often too large for simple accounting support but without the internal resources for sophisticated corporate finance planning.
Julian Campbell, of Norwich Business School, said the partnership reflects a distinct and timely angle for the school's executive education offering, combining the UEA's academic credibility with specialist regional expertise in corporate finance, law and business exit.
