TPS Ipswich looks the part with relocation to new expanded site

TPS Ipswich is ready to further ramp up operations and meet increased customer demand for parts following the relocation to a new 13,000 sq fit site.

The new site, located at Sproughton, near Ipswich, is now among the biggest Centres in the TPS network with a sales office, warehouse, new board room and meeting rooms housed in the 12m high main building.

With the impressive new site’s increased space comes additional capacity, enabling TPS Ipswich to service customer demand across an expanded number of local and regional territories. It means that TPS Ipswich now has the capability to reach new prospective customers from across the region and with it the opportunity to further expand its customer network.

TPS Ipswich carries out six regular delivery runs each day to customers in Bury St Edmunds, Clapton-On-Sea, Colchester, Diss, Felixstowe Halstead, Ipswich Saxmundham, Sudbury and Woodbridge. 

Those deliveries are carried out by a 15 strong vehicle fleet that includes three EVs - two Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargos and a Cupra Born - from Monday to Saturday each week.

Malcolm Park, TPS Ipswich Centre Manager, said: “We had very much outgrown the previous building, so moving to the new site has allowed us to increase our capacity and ramp up operations to our customers.

“There has been a phenomenal amount of work gone into getting the new site up and running and everyone is really impressed by what we have here.

“With the launch of Brands at TPS this year, we have the capacity to stock more parts than ever before and deliver them to customers across the region.

“For instance, TPS Ipswich is now one of the largest battery stockists in the TPS centre network with 650 batteries available on site at any time, With the move to the new site providing us with extra capacity and increased capability, we look forward to a successful future.”

As one of the largest battery stockists in the TPS centre network, TPS Ipswich has its own purpose-built room for battery testing and charging, with all batteries tested on site at least once month.

The new centre also has on site solar panels, which helps to achieve the A energy efficiency rating for the building.
