“This is our twenty-second Basepoint centre and the first of several in the East of England, with Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge following on from Ipswich. We are excited to have chosen Ipswich as our first location in the region, especially with it being one of the UK's fastest growing urban areas.”
New mayor, Mr Hale, said: “We have some challenging targets for Ipswich in regards to housing and population growth over the next decade. By 2021 around 30,000 new jobs will be created, confirming Ipswich's place as the fastest growing regional centre in the East.
“To help us in achieving these targets, we welcome working with companies such as Basepoint. In this instance it means fresh investment into the town, the growth of existing businesses such as RG Carters through the construction of the centre and the birth of new enterprises within the centre itself.”
The new Basepoint business centre is expected to be up and running before the end of the year.
