No it is a scam/phishing attempt.  The displayed number is likely to be made up or cloned.

It's pretending to be from Norwich.  Stay vigilant and you'll be OK.  Other numbers are mostly "obscure places" in Scotland.  An internet search on these numbers will usually yield a result confirming that they are scam/dangerous.  Must be a right pain if they "borrow" your number.
