Welcome to the GDPR Issue This my first edition to you as editor, which is, of course, exciting but a little nerve-racking! You will see some new changes we have made throughout the magazine, hopefully, you like them. Over the forthcoming issues we will be working further to develop the magazine to bring to you the new Chamber vision for all our members, so watch this space! In the centre of this issue, you will find our main feature, an eight-page ‘pull out’ on GDPR, which includes all the useful material you need about the changes to the data regulations, and how this will affect all our businesses from 25 May 2018. We are really pleased to once again draw on our panel of experts’ knowledge from our GDPR Conference in March, who have come together to answer more of your questions about GDPR. Our big interview is with the man who is driving forward the British Chambers of Commerce, Director General, Dr. Adam Marshall, who give us an insight into his vision and challenges ahead for businesses. We also want to let you know about the forthcoming BCC Awards and Norfolk Business Awards in our feature. Do apply as we want to celebrate the great work you do in this region. In addition, we talk to Michael Baldwin from The Bank House about his role as General Manager and President of the West Norfolk Chamber Council Of course, we have our regulars such as the Member News and Social Enterprise where we hear from Lucy Hall at Bicycle Link about how their business began. I hope you enjoy this edition.
