C2 is the largest distributor of golf carts and small-wheeled electric and gas vehicles in New England. We are committed to offering a wide array of vehicles for personal, commercial, golf, and rental use. Our cars are backed by our award-winning service and extensive parts supply, all since 1978.

For more than four decades, C2 has been the top distributor for Club Car. We are also the only authorized GEM mobile service dealer in New England. We recently became an authorized dealer for Garia and MadJax vehicles, further expanding our wide variety of products that help us serve every kind of customer.

C2 Vehicles started 40 years ago as Country Club Enterprises, and eventually became known as CCE Golf Cars. The legacy names seemed limiting, especially since our offerings had expanded so much, so we embarked on a rebranding exercise. Research supported the idea that Golf is our entire past, but not our entire future. And our customers know who we are as people and products, but not as a local brand. After an exhaustive process, we landed on C2 Vehicles as a brand evolution of the previous names that was both comfortable and one we could grow with.

Plymouth Gin is a true original. Since 1793 its unique recipe of botanicals has been made to the highest standards in the same distillery in the very heart of the historical city of Plymouth, on England’s Southwest coast. It’s these factors that have resulted in our gin becoming as famous and well-travelled as those who first tasted it. Known for being carried upon naval ships, Plymouth Gin is a favorite amongst sailors. Plymouth gin is made from 7 hand-selected botanicals including juniper, coriander, orange peels, lemon peels, angelica root, green cardamom, and orrisroot. It is the perfect gin for classic cocktails such as a gin & tonic, martini, or negroni.

Commonwealth Financial Group, a general agency of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), was established in 1857 with the commitment of providing extraordinary financial services and products to individuals, families, business owners and companies. Over 150 years later, the agency's original mission is still observed. What has changed is the continuously expanding footprint across all of New England and other regions of the country. We look forward to the ongoing empowerment of current and future clients to take the steps towards achieving financial independence.

When assisting our clients, we typically find that financial success does not bring simplicity to peoples' lives. In many instances, as people become more established in their career, life becomes far more complicated. Attorneys, CPAs, insurance agents and investment advisors can all be extraordinarily helpful in providing sound advice, but they generally offer up their guidance independent of one another. This paradigm leaves clients primarily responsible for sifting through a wide array of different types of recommendations, trying to figure out which ones are most appropriate and how they all fit together.

Our firm offers clients a team-based, holistic alternative to financial planning. We take each of our clients through a comprehensive planning process that is specifically designed to help simplify the complexities associated with modern day wealth management. Our team is capable of providing a single source financial planning solution. We specialize in the full integration of personal, business, tax and estate planning. Often times, we work in conjunction with an individual's existing advisory team to coordinate a comprehensive and cohesive financial plan for the benefit of our mutual clients. Think of it as coordinated care for your financial life.
