Norse
Trading since 1988, Norse provides property, environmental, highways, FM, and care services primarily to the public sector. Wholly owned by Norfolk County Council, we operate on a commercial basis; our combination of business expertise and public service ethos offers a radical alternative to traditional outsourcing.
Our business model is founded on partnership working: we have over twenty joint ventures with local authorities. Each year we return many millions of pounds to the public purse, re-investing to ensure long-term success, creating jobs and protecting public services.
"Our mission at Norse Group is improving people’s lives – those of our employees, customers, suppliers, and the local community wherever we operate. I am enormously proud of the work we do, working in partnership with our clients and achieving unrivalled social value. With one foot in the public sector, and one in the private, we are uniquely positioned to deliver ethical commercialism.” Justin Galliford, CEO, Norse Group

Impact of Labour Government on Public Sector Finances
With a new government committed to improving public services, how will local government benefit? So far their policies remain unclear, but Rachel Reeves’ autumn statement has given us some indication of their thinking.
- How will this impact frontline service delivery?
- Will we see the trend away from traditional outsourcing continue?
- Is devolution and greater autonomy the answer?
- Can we expect to see longer-term funding settlements?
- Are we entering a new age of austerity?
