Welcome to the Broadland Food Innovation Centre
We have heard people say they wish they'd had access to a centre like this, when their food business was at that critical point of expansion. Simply because everything you need is in one place, for food innovation, presentation and production.
You can start by hiring test kitchens, tasting rooms and meeting spaces for one-off use. If your business needs a unit then there is a choice of four sizes, all food-grade on a secure site. The essential extra is the people you will meet and the services on tap.
The Centre team will support you in making the most of the bespoke facilities, specialist innovation support and cluster membership. Their goal is to help secure the commercial futures of your food and drink concepts.
You will also be joining a community of food businesses with all the potential that comes from opportunities to interact with businesses along the supply chain.
To visit the Centre, you can contact Brown & Co, email Nick Dunn or Anna Smith.
