Accrington HR & Employment Law Consultancy NORI HR have been confirmed as the new sponsor of East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce’s renowned Rush Hour Networking events.

Rush Hour is East Lancashire Chamber’s premier networking event. Held in multiple venues across East Lancs, this event brings together businesses of all shapes and sizes in a blaze of coffee, chat and introductions – six times per year!

Rush Hour is well attended by Chamber members and non-members alike and draws well in excess of 150 delegates at each event.

NORi HR is a leading HR and Employment Law consultancy based in Accrington, specialising in hands-on, proactive HR support that helps businesses manage their people effectively. Through their services, they work closely with organisations to ensure essential HR processes, such as return-to-work meetings, absence management, performance tracking, and welfare meetings are prioritised, not overlooked. Their goal is to help businesses foster a compliant, productive, and engaged workforce by embedding structured HR support into their daily operations.

The first Rush Hour under the new partnership will take place on Wednesday 26 March 2025 from 12pm till 2pm in the sports hall at Burnley College and a complimentary lunch will be provided courtesy of the college. Over 200 attendees are expected, with over 40 businesses hosting stands to exhibit to delegates.

CEO of NORi HR Jason Govindji-Bruce is delighted to get the deal over the line:

“We’re delighted to be sponsoring East Lancashire Chamber’s Rush Hour networking events.

“The Chamber has been a huge support to NORi HR over the years, providing invaluable opportunities to connect, learn, and grow as a business. From networking and business development to the guidance we’ve received along the way, the Chamber has played a key role in our journey. Now, as a sponsor, we’re proud to give back and support an event that brings so many businesses together.

“We look forward to working alongside the Chamber to continue strengthening the local business community and making Rush Hour an even greater success.”

Events Manager at East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce Debbi Dawson added:

“We’re absolutely over the moon to be working with NORi HR to continue to grow and evolve East Lancashire’s Premier Networking Event. We know the NORi team really well and are already working on new ideas for the event.”
