Sowdens sends guests back to the Eighties as it celebrates 40th anniversary in style

Pioneering East Yorkshire marketing agency Sowden & Sowden has clocked up 40 years in business.

Having spent time at major agencies in Leeds and London, Paul Sowden returned to Hull in the early Eighties, launching his design consultancy 'Sowdens' in 1982. He remains at the helm with daughter Polly, proving its longevity, adaptability to a digital world, and ability to weather many storms - from recessions and lockdowns to a fire at its old premises that nearly brought it to the brink.

The Hull office on Beverley Road has now been replaced by last summer’s refurbishment of a 19th century former coach house in Hessle, which provided the location to celebrate the milestone. It came at a time when the agency is welcoming new business from local and international clients, as well as expanding its digital marketing operation.
