Last night we hosted our Pizza in the Park evening at Longfields Cafe in the park and it was a fantastic evening from start to finish! 🍕

We were lucky with the weather, with the sun shining right through the evening.

It was amazing to see so many familiar faces and just as lovely to welcome some new ones too, all enjoying great pizza and a drink together.

We believe events like this are about building real connections with real people. By taking away the formality and pressure, we create space for genuine conversations.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along! We can’t wait to see you at our next event in July, this time with a Caribbean twist! 🌴

When a community comes together, it can achieve truly incredible things!

With support from Longfield Risk Solutions Ltd, two amazing local businesses, Elecsi and GBS Builders (Ipswich) Ltd, joined forces to build Emmie her dream bathroom.

Emmie is nine years old and lives with Kniest Dysplasia. For the past five years, her family have been fundraising to adapt their home, and the final, vital piece was a downstairs bathroom.

Emmie can’t walk and wasn’t able to access the upstairs family bathroom. Even if she could, everyday things like reaching the sink or using the toilet independently just weren’t possible.

But now, thanks to Elecsi and GBS, everything has changed.

Emmie has a fully adapted bathroom designed just for her and she absolutely loves her new independence.

If you’d like to support Emmie and her family or help with future fundraising, you can donate here:

Corbel Solutions Ltd has launched a hands-on AI Workshop designed to help small and medium-sized businesses get started with artificial intelligence in a safe and effective way.

Delivered as a half-day session at your premises, for up to four people, the workshop focuses on real-world use cases, safe adoption and quick wins that genuinely add value.

Led by Corbel’s Managing Director alongside an in‑house AI specialist, teams learn what AI really is (and isn’t), how to use it responsibly within Microsoft environments and how to identify opportunities where AI can make an immediate difference.

Each workshop concludes with a clear 30‑day action plan, helping businesses move from learning to action with confidence.

If we do say so ourselves, Longfields Circle has created some pretty special events.

From Spitfires and red carpets to pizza evenings, drinks, and everything in between, each one has shared the same goal: to grow and support Suffolk’s business community.

This year is set to be just as exciting. We have some fantastic events in the pipeline and we cannot wait to share what is coming next.

Keep your eyes peeled for dates and details coming soon.
