A grand building in the city centre has been transformed into a top-of-the-line space for businesses and professionals. 

The Norfolk Chamber of Commerce Business Hub opened on Monday and makes use of the former post office at the top of Prince of Wales Road, now called Hardwick House. 

It has 36 workspaces with monitors and charging points, as well as a boardroom for up to 20 people and meeting pods with active soundproofing.

"We tried to ensure the building's heritage where possible and kept its high ceilings and ornate motifs, keeping the space bright and airy."

Currently, only the first floor is fitted for use but Nova said she hopes the second floor can also become part of the hub in the near future. 

Rooms and desks can be booked via the chamber's website.
