Where we work

Our region

Recruiting across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex, from our base in Ipswich.

Place by place

From Silicon Fen to the Port of Felixstowe

A short guide to the industries, research campuses and projects across the four counties.

Our base

Ipswich

Our Ipswich office is close to the Port of Felixstowe and to Adastral Park at Martlesham, a research campus and technology cluster.

Cambridge and Silicon Fen

Silicon Fen is another name for Cambridge's technology cluster: software, electronics, AI and life sciences, on science parks and research campuses including Cambridge Science Park, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Granta Park, the Babraham Research Campus and the Wellcome Genome Campus.

The Cambridge Norwich Tech Corridor

The corridor runs for about 100km from Cambridgeshire through Suffolk to Norfolk (West Suffolk Council), following the A11 between Cambridge and Norwich. The A11 runs past Newmarket, Thetford and Wymondham, and the corridor takes in the Hethel Engineering Centre near Wymondham.

Norwich

Norwich has a long-established insurance sector, alongside financial services and digital businesses. Norwich Research Park is home to food, genomics and health research.

The coast

The East's coast is home to offshore wind farms, the Sizewell C construction site and the Port of Felixstowe, the UK's biggest container port.

Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth are bases for offshore wind, and more offshore wind is being built off the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. Freeport East is centred on the ports of Felixstowe and Harwich.

11,000+

offshore wind workers needed by 2029

In the East of England, up from around 3,600, says one industry report (EastWind Offshore Cluster and Opergy, 2025).

Farming country

Farms in the East of England grow almost two thirds of England's sugar beet, a third of its potatoes and more than a quarter of its wheat (DEFRA, 2024 data). Around them are food producers and agritech businesses.

West Suffolk and the A14

Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and Haverhill: food and drink processing and brewing, distribution sites by the A14 at Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket's racing industry, and the EpiCentre, an innovation centre with offices and labs at Haverhill Research Park. The A14 is the main road link between the Port of Felixstowe and the Midlands.

Essex

In Colchester, the University of Essex has its Knowledge Gateway, a research and technology park on its Colchester Campus. On the coast, Harwich is part of Freeport East.

Peterborough and north Cambridgeshire

Transport and storage is one of Peterborough's largest employment sectors. Manufacturing makes up about 15.8% of jobs in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, against 8.1% nationally (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, 2024).
