Transport & Infrastructure Group
To optimise our capacity to deliver economic growth and our position as an international gateway, Suffolk merits significant investment in our infrastructure. As such the Transport & Infrastructure Group (TIG) brings together transport and business professionals from across Suffolk alongside local authorities to discuss key issues relating to road, rail, ports and aviation, as well as utilities.
The group meets twice per year and guest speakers are invited to address the group on pertinent issues to the local economy, the growth agenda and to Suffolk more widely. The group forms part of the policy and lobbying work of the Chamber and outcomes of discussions often help feed into the engagement work with wider bodies such as DfT, National Highways, Network Rail and other key stakeholders including the British Chambers of Commerce.
The next TIG Group meeting is on the 9th October 2024
