Suffolk Businesses in Focus: New Film Series Celebrates a Year of Growth

As 2025 draws to a close, we’re celebrating Suffolk businesses with a new series of short films that shine a light on their resilience, innovation and growth. Filmed by Suffolk based Greyhound Creative, the series captures real stories from local SMEs — from start-ups to family firms — who share how the New Anglia Growth Hub has helped them navigate challenges, seize opportunities and move forward with confidence.

2025 Suffolk Business Film Series

From marketing and training to sourcing district council grants and simplifying daily operations, the Growth Hub team – including Programme Director Pauline Prockter, Business Advisor Mark Longman and media and communications specialist Nick Pandolfi,has worked closely with each business featured in the series.

Pauline Prockter said:
“2025 has been another challenging year for some of our clients, and the district council grants from the Shared Prosperity Fund have helped many reach their goals more quickly. Our team of experts has been able to deliver tailored routes in marketing, artificial intelligence, process improvement and day-to-day business management. I love these short films – they really do put businesses centre stage.”

The Growth Hub’s support is credited with boosting confidence, unlocking funding, and strengthening the wider local economy. Businesses featured in the films speak candidly about how the Hub’s one-to-one guidance, delivered by specialists like Mark Longman and Nick Pandolfi, has made a measurable difference — from navigating grant applications to refining marketing strategies and embracing new technologies such as AI.

The films are now available online and serve as a powerful reminder of how collaboration, expert advice and local understanding can help Suffolk’s business community continue to flourish. Watch via this link
