Jarrold Growth Fund

As part of our ongoing commitment to nurturing Norfolk’s business community, we launched Jarrold Growth Fund in 2024. A pot of £100,000 will be released every year to Norfolk businesses looking to propel their growth. To further support those businesses in meeting their growth ambitions, we will provide access to specialist expertise both from within Jarrold Group and from our associates.

Applications are open throughout the year, and each business will be reviewed upon submission. To apply or learn more, please contact Caroline Ellis, Group Business Development Manager, cellis@jarrold.com. If you are applying for the 2026 funding round, applications open from 10 January 2026.
