About Hethel Engineering Centre

In 2006, Hethel Engineering Centre was created by Norfolk County Council in partnership with the East of England Development Agency, local industry and other partners as a hub for engineering and business in the region.

The success of HEC has resulted in dramatic growth over the last decade, with dozens of extra workshops and offices created to service the regional need for a supportive and engaging hub for the type of high-skilled, high-growth businesses in demand across Norfolk and the rest of the UK.

“The market insight provided by Hethel has expanded our market intellect and capacity. As a small business, you need critical mass and being in a facility that has such a feeling of innovation without being in someone’s garage creates that. There’s a great support network here between all the businesses, and it’s a lot easier with Hethel facilitating!”.
