Suffolk Growth Hub Launches Inspiring Short Film Series Showcasing Local Business Success

 

The Suffolk Growth Hub team is delighted to announce the launch of a compelling new series of short films, designed to bring the real-world impact of business support to life in 2025. These films, commissioned by the Growth Hub, tell the unique stories of selected Suffolk businesses from their own perspective, highlighting how dedicated coaching, grant support, and improved business resilience have paved the way for their success.

The initiative comes at the keen instigation of Pauline Prockter, Programme Director for the New Anglia Growth Hub in Suffolk. “Pauline was really keen that we again feature a few of those businesses that have received our coaching, grant support, and seen their business resilience significantly improve,” explains Nick Pandolfi, Senior Business Advisor for the Growth Hub service in Suffolk. “These films are a fantastic way to demonstrate the tangible benefits of engaging with us.”

Launched this June, the series kicks off by featuring Marie Honeyfield from West Suffolk-based Anglia CPR. Marie’s story is a powerful example of how the Growth Hub’s tailored support has enabled her to expand her vital work in delivering life-saving first aid and CPR workshops across East Anglia. Viewers will gain insight into how Anglia CPR has developed, from strategic business planning and digital marketing enhancements to successful grant facilitation and securing a crucial business grant from West Suffolk Council.

“The films aim not only to raise awareness of the fantastic businesses we have here in Suffolk but also to clearly explain the comprehensive raft of support available for SMEs right across the county,” adds Nick Pandolfi. “Many businesses don’t realise the full extent of the free and impartial advice, guidance, and funding opportunities that the Growth Hub can unlock for them.”

The short films provide a dynamic and personal insight into how businesses, regardless of their size or sector, can leverage the Growth Hub’s expertise to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and achieve their growth ambitions. Future films in the series will continue to showcase diverse Suffolk businesses that have benefited from the Growth Hub’s various programmes, including those focused on innovation, sustainability, and market expansion.

Businesses across Suffolk are encouraged to watch the films to understand how the New Anglia Growth Hub can become a pivotal partner in their own journey towards enhanced resilience and sustained success.

Films and infographics featuring other Suffolk based SMEs will be released through the Summer and the Autumn of 2025.

The films are produced by a Suffolk based business, Greyhound Creative.
