There is something very special about living and working in this part of the world. Suffolk and Norfolk have a way of getting under your skin, in the best possible way!
The big skies, beautiful coastline, market towns, independent businesses and slightly slower pace of life all make it a brilliant place to call home, and an even better place to run a creative business.
Tinpeas is based in Beccles, right on the Norfolk and Suffolk border, which means we are perfectly placed to work with businesses across both counties. From Suffolk web design and graphic design to branding, SEO, print and social media marketing, I get to support a wonderful mix of local companies, organisations and independent businesses who all bring something different to the table.
I originally came from Leicester, but Suffolk has been home for a long time now. In fact, I am in my 24th year of living here, which feels like more than enough time to say I am properly settled in. The accent may not be fully Suffolk, but the love for the place is definitely there.
One of the best things about working with businesses across Suffolk and Norfolk is the variety. One week might involve a website for a local trades business, the next could be branding for a start-up, printed materials for an established company, SEO support for a growing organisation or social media content for an independent restaurant. No two projects are quite the same, which keeps things interesting and gives Tinpeas plenty of room to do what it enjoys most, coming up with good ideas and making businesses look sharper.
There is also a real sense of community here. Local businesses tend to care about what they do, who they serve and how they come across. That makes my job even more enjoyable. When a client is passionate about their business, it gives me something brilliant to work with. My role is to take that passion and turn it into websites, branding and design that feel professional, memorable and true to who they are.
Being based between Suffolk and Norfolk also gives Tinpeas the best of both worlds. Suffolk brings charm, character and creative energy, while Norfolk offers space, independence and a strong business community of its own. Together, they make a fantastic place to live, work and build long-lasting relationships with clients.
Tinpeas may work with businesses across the UK and indeed the world, but there will always be something extra rewarding about supporting companies close to home. Whether it is web design in Suffolk, graphic design in Norfolk, branding for a local start-up or ongoing marketing support for a business just down the road, those local connections matter.
After more than two decades of living in Suffolk, I still feel lucky to be here. Tinpeas is proud to be part of this region and even prouder to help local businesses stand out, grow and show the world what they are made of.
Small tin, big ideas, happily rooted on the Suffolk and Norfolk border.
