Larking Gowen announces sponsorship of Suffolk Sound’s Decades of Hits Drivetime

Larking Gowen has announced a new sponsorship of Suffolk Sound radio, supporting the station’s Decades of Hits Drivetime with Mark Perkins, which airs every weekday from 4pm on the community station.

The partnership reflects Larking Gowen’s ongoing commitment to supporting organisations that play a positive role in communities across the region, particularly those that showcase local businesses and celebrate what Suffolk has to offer.

Suffolk Sound began broadcasting from Beach Street in Felixstowe in July 2023 and focuses on producing local radio for audiences across Suffolk and beyond.

Through the sponsorship, Larking Gowen will support a growing local initiative that provides locally produced programmes for listeners across the county.

Graham Mummery, Partner at Larking Gowen, said: “Larking Gowen has been part of the Suffolk business community for many years, so supporting an organisation that shares our commitment to the local area felt like a natural fit.

“Suffolk Sound is creating something that brings people together and gives Suffolk its own voice. We’re pleased to support Decades of Hits Drivetime and to play a small part in helping local radio continue to grow and reach more people across the county.”

Richie Ross, founder and trustee of Suffolk Sound, welcomed the partnership, saying:

“It’s testament to our vision and drive to make great radio across Suffolk and beyond that businesses such as Larking Gowen want to be part of this incredible journey with us.”

The sponsorship forms part of Larking Gowen’s wider commitment to building strong relationships and supporting the communities where its people live and work. The firm works with and supports a range of organisations, charities, events and community initiatives that make a positive difference locally.
