Gudgeons in the Community
Established in the heart of Stowmarket since 1821, our firm is deeply rooted in the local area and genuinely passionate about supporting our community. Whether it’s local businesses, fundraisers, charitable events, community groups, schools, or sports teams, we are committed to helping wherever we can. Giving back and contributing to such a warm and welcoming community is incredibly important to us.
As a long-established firm, we believe it is our duty to uphold our traditional values and to play an active role in the place we call home. Many of our staff live locally, and are Suffolk born and bred - so supporting Stowmarket isn’t just part of our ethos, it’s part of who we are.
Internally, we regularly take part in fundraising and support a variety of causes. It’s a big part of what makes our working culture friendly, positive, and full of team spirit. Whether it’s baking cakes for the kitchen or wearing odd socks for a good cause, we’re always up for getting involved!
