🌟 Member Spotlight 🌟 The Suffolk Chamber membership team have been out to visit a few businesses that are part of our network over the last few weeks. The first visit was to Paddy & Scott's vibrant headquarters located on the picturesque Ipswich Waterfront where we caught up with their Head of Commercial Joseph Cordy. Having started in 2007 Paddy & Scott's are on a mission to fuel the ambitions of coffee growing communities and coffee lovers all over the world. Joseph updated the team on their coffee shop, local coffee roasting facility and their online shops for both personal use and workplace supplies. The team then made their way up the A14 to Lawshall to visit Green Light Trust. Here they met with their Fundraising Development Officer Holly Harrington. Green Light Trust was formed in 1989 and is about building health, hope and happiness through the Power of Nature. Holly gave the team a tour of the facilities and talked through the different elements to the charity including their corporate offering and wellbeing days.

In light of the King's Speech, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce has issued an initial response as follows: “Whilst we will look for more detail in the days ahead, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce is broadly appreciative of those pieces of legislation in the King’s Speech that seek to enable stronger and more sustainable economic growth. As such this appears to be an early and strategic confirmation of what businesses are looking for in general terms: a long-term plan, backed by a clear role for Government in then allowing the private sector to do what it does best: generate wealth and employment. “In particular, we welcome the intentions behind the Planning and Infrastructure Bill as long as it does indeed accelerate the delivery of high quality infrastructure projects such as Ely/Haughley Junctions, improvements to the strategic roads in the county and improved 4G and 5G connectivity, as well as housing, the Better Buses Bill as rural isolation in Suffolk and access to work and study, especially for our younger citizens is a major drag factor in boosting business investment and household incomes and the English Devolution Bill, as we believe that Suffolk has suffered for too long from the ‘Whitehall knows best’ philosophy, which has consistently resulted in unfair funding and missed opportunities. However, we are concerned that any new powers will be limited to metro mayors and combined authorities - once again putting Suffolk at a disadvantage. “For similar reasons, Suffolk Chamber likes the intent behind the Great British Energy Bill given our county and region’s enormous existing strengths in the renewables sector. Noting that the proposed company will be headquartered in Scotland, we think it vital that it also has a presence here in Suffolk to ensure the needs of existing and prospective energy companies are not overlooked and investment opportunities are maximised.” #SuffolkChamber #Suffolk #KingsSpeech
