A warehousing firm says it has enjoyed “strong demand” over the last year as it snapped up a 124,000sq ft facility in Ipswich.
Ipswich and Felixstowe-based GMA Warehousing & Transport, which has more than 325,000sq ft of warehousing space as well as a 44-strong vehicle fleet, said Ipswich was the 'go-to' location for the distribution and fulfilment sector. The firm has now added a new facility in Leslie Road, Ipswich to its portfolio.

"It also allows us to diversify our offerings with an increased emphasis on value-added services. We've enjoyed strong demand for our services over the last year, and this warehouse allows us to serve our customers better."
The company wanted to identify opportunities to further develop its client offering as part of its expansion plans, he said.
