The Thetford area, and Norfolk generally, benefit from an existing cluster of engineering, manufacturing and motorsport companies at all levels of the supply chain. Whilst this sector is spread across the Breckland district, Thetford is the main centre of activity, and is home to a number of multinational companies across a number of sectors.
The A11 corridor is fast becoming a vibrant 'hotspot' for engineering and motorsport with development plans for
Snetterton and the new
Engineering Centre at Hethel
Over 50 local companies enjoy regular networking and collaboration opportunities through the Thetford Manufacturing Excellence Club, established specifically to help the industry take full advantage of the benefits of working together.
