Carpenter Box marks 100-year anniversary with charity fundraising

Sussex-based financial services firm, Carpenter Box, has celebrated its 100-year anniversary by raising money for local charities.

The firm was founded in 1923 and has since developed a range of services for businesses and individuals based locally and internationally, growing to a headcount of over 200 and opening four further offices in Brighton, Gatwick, Chichester and London.

As a member of PrimeGlobal, an international network of independently owned financial advisory firms, Carpenter Box’s team of specialists also have “extensive” experience helping overseas businesses set up in the UK and trade around the globe.

To mark a successful 100 years in business, the firm aims to give back to the community that it has served in for a century by raising £50,000 through a series of fundraising events, for local charities chosen by the company’s charitable foundation.

Those receiving donations include Red Balloon Worthing, an alternative school for children subject to bullying, homeless charities Crawley Open House and Turning Tides, and mental health charity West Sussex Mind.

Alan Edwards, managing partner at Carpenter Box, said: “We’re extremely proud and grateful to be celebrating 100 years in business, and the journey we’ve taken to be where we are today.

“In 1923 Robert Carpenter agreed to go into partnership with Harold Box and together they opened a Worthing office at Liverpool Gardens. Today, we have 19 partners and over 200 staff supporting businesses and families across Sussex.We would like to thank all our staff, clients, and the local community who have been a part of Carpenter Box’s journey so far. Here’s to the next 100 years.”
