What a month it’s been at Tastebuds Collective! We’ve been busy, inspired, and energized — and we’re excited to bring you all the highlights from May, plus a sneak peek at what’s coming next.
Xero Workshop: mastering finances
This month, we hosted a Xero workshop along with founding sponsor, Lovewell Blake, packed with tips and tricks to help our members stay on top of their finances. From managing cashflow to making the most of digital tools, our attendees walked away with practical knowledge to strengthen their businesses.
Brewing exciting plans with Love Norwich Food
We’ve been in conversations with the wonderful Zena at Love Norwich Food, cooking up ideas for some delicious collaborations. Stay tuned — there’s something exciting simmering behind the scenes that all members will want to be involved in.
New Office Home: Carrow House
We officially moved into our new offices at Carrow House as part of Norwich Unity Hub — and wow, it’s beautiful! The space is full of history, character, and creativity, and we can’t wait to welcome our members here for workshops, meetups, and brainstorming sessions.
Meeting with mentors
This month we also met with some incredible mentors who are keen to offer support, advice, and expertise to our Tastebuds members. We’re working on ways to connect you with these brilliant minds to help grow your businesses and navigate challenges.
Awards, awards, awards!
We are beyond proud to share that Tastebuds Collective won the Impact and Innovation Award for Partnership of the Year at the UEA Innovation and Impact Awards! And as if that wasn’t enough good news, our very own Charlotte was nominated for not one but two marketing awards 'The Role Model' and 'The Marketer'.
