Suffolk

The picturesque rural and coastal county of Suffolk is located in the east of England. The major towns in Suffolk are Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, Lowestoft and Newmarket, viewed as many as the global headquarters of horseracing.  Suffolk shares the coastline with Norfolk and Essex and borders Cambridgeshire, making these areas easily commutable.

Suffolk is home to a growing number of industries including food, drink, agriculture, biotechnology, manufacturing, tourism and logistics, thanks to the ports of Felixstowe and – just over the border in Essex –  Harwich. With such a prime position near to these two massive hubs in the UK’s trade with Europe and the wider world, Suffolk is a key location for businesses wishing to benefit from easy access to inbound raw materials or a shorter supply chain for customers in Europe, or both.
