As England’s most easterly county, Suffolk is a beautiful place. It is also full of incredible views, fascinating people and amazing businesses.

There are only three things you can do with money: You can spend it, you can give it away, or you can save it. This podcast looks at how these activities are carried out within Suffolk and the people behind it.

Colin Low and guests talk business, charities and investment, with money-saving tips too.
