The voice of business is vital – we want
you to tell us what we can do to make
your business work better and to ensure
the right support and advice is available.
We are working hard with our
partners, Ipswich Vision, to attract
major investment into our town
centre and business districts, and
using our own resources to deliver
major commercial developments
and housing projects.
Investments include the Birketts HQ,
the new Cornhill, the multi-storey
Crown car park, the former Sproughton
sugar beet site and planned work on
St Peter’s Dock. The scale and range
of development across Ipswich is
unprecedented and I hope this
directory gives you a taste of some
of the opportunities and benefits to
be explored.
Making sure local business benefits
from this investment, either as a
supplier or through local supply
chains, is hugely important and we are
focused on helping you get the most
from each of these major developments
happening in our Borough.
Hearing what you’ve got to say is vital.
If you are interested in relocating to
Ipswich, expanding or you are an
existing business with ideas about what
more could be done to support the
business community in your local area,
please do get in touch.
