Family firm recognised for dedication to supporting the wider community

A Worcester business has been recognised for its dedication to supporting the wider community.

Sutcliffe & Co Insurance Brokers received the Commitment to the Community Award at the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

The company was praised for its ongoing work with charities, businesses, and the public through high-profile sponsorships and community initiatives.

Duncan Sutcliffe, managing director at Sutcliffe & Co, said: “Our commitment to the community has always been strong, but in 2025 we significantly expanded our initiatives, making a bold impact through the support and sponsorship of high-profile local events.

“We proudly support multiple charities as part of our culture at Sutcliffe and actively encourage community engagement, and champion local businesses to strengthen the local economy.

“Of course, winning an award is always great but this one has special meaning for us as caring for the local community and giving back where we can strikes at the heart of everything we do.”

The awards ceremony took place on June 11, at the University of Worcester Arena, with 700 business leaders in attendance.

Duncan Sutcliffe is the fourth generation to lead the multi-award-winning, family-run insurance broker offering tailored insurance policies for businesses and individuals.

Sutcliffe & Co has served as headline sponsor for prominent events including the Worcester City Runs and the Worcester Music Festival.

The company also supports the Myriad Centre, runs an ongoing programme with Worcester Food Bank, and provides employee-led backing for the Samaritans.

The company will once again headline sponsor the Worcester City Runs and Worcester Music Festival in 2026, building on the success of a record-breaking year in 2025.

The next Worcester Music Festival will take place on September 12 and 13.
