Since its launch in 2014, the fully funded service has provided more than 43,000 hours of support to businesses across the county.
The Growth Hub’s team of qualified advisors help business owners and managers to access support, grants and free training.
Jason Middleton, programmes manager at Norfolk County Council, said: “Working with businesses and their teams to facilitate growth, skills development and resilience has been a great pleasure.
“Our expert growth advisers have supported thousands of people ensuring they create a sustainable business.
“We’re proud to be part of Norfolk’s business community and are looking forward to continuing our partnerships with local, regional and national groups to keep building and facilitating an economic environment where businesses flourish.”
Tiffany Crosson-Smith, owner of custom bridalwear business Tatty’s Original, added: “Having the Growth Hub’s support has made a huge difference.
“Being a sole trader can feel isolating at times, and having access to expert guidance has helped me focus my ideas, set a clear direction, and grow with more confidence.
“Their support hasn’t just helped me work in my business but also step back and work on it, making more strategic decisions rather than just reacting to whatever comes next.”
Over the years, the Growth Hub’s high-growth programme has attracted hundreds of local businesses, including Delta Fire, Diamond Controls and Maldon Chocolates.
“The Growth Hub support has been brilliant from the very first stages, all the way through project implementation,” said Jordon King, head of operations and business development at Delta Fire, based at Broadland Business Park in Norwich.
“They’ve been very supportive, engaging and knowledgeable.”
