Ipswich

Ipswich is the County Town of Suffolk, located in the region of East Anglia, and is well located regionally by both rail and road being situated at the intersection of the A12 and A14 with railway services connecting it to London, Norwich and Cambridge.

Approximately 67 miles north east of London and 45 miles south east of Cambridge, and closely affiliated with the Port of Felixstowe, approximately 14 miles east. Felixstowe port is reported to be the United Kingdom’s busiest container port dealing with up to 48% of UK containerised trade. Of specific relevance to the commercial sector, at the beginning of 2022 Felixstowe will commence its operation as one of the UK’s new ‘Free Ports’. Principally a Free Port allows goods exemption from tariffs until they are moved offsite to elsewhere in the UK.

Ipswich town is home to both of the (separate) headquarters of Ipswich Borough Council and Suffolk County Council. The Portman Road Stadium retains its long-established location within the town centre and is home to Ipswich Town Football Club, established in 1878, who, despite (at the time of writing) resting in Football League One, have a devoted following known as the ‘Tractor Boys’, and a lifelong rivalry with Norwich City.

As a commercial location the town greatly benefits from, as mentioned, its location alongside the Port of Felixstowe, but also due to the significantly improved A14 which runs westwards and gives access to both the M11 and the Midlands thereafter. There are five principal commercial/industrial estates around the town including Boss Hall, Hadleigh Road, Riverside, Whitehouse and Ransomes Europark. The latter takes its name from the famous agricultural manufacturer originally located in the town, where it is believed that the first commercial motorised lawnmower was manufactured by that company in 1902. To the east of the town at Martlesham Heath sits an iconic landmark, home to British Telecom Research, with the surrounding area now being repurposed into a science park.

The majority of industrial areas identified above contain a wide variety of commercial stock, but much of which is becoming aged. Recent redevelopments, however, are changing that profile. At Sproughton, the former Sugar Beet Factory site continues to be redeveloped and is now home to significant occupiers, including Amazon. The former Cranes sites on Ransomes Europark has been fully redeveloped over recent years to include a retail park with John Lewis at Home, a number of car dealerships and a new speculative industrial/warehouse scheme known as Futura Park.

Due to the improved A14, commercial occupiers would consider nearby locations in the corridor between the Port of Felixstowe and Bury St Edmunds. These areas of redevelopment have included substantial successes at Suffolk Business Park and the now underway development at Gateway 14, Stowmarket, which can accommodate up to 2,000,000 sq ft of commercial floor space.
