Secure Document Storage in Cambridge

Located on the River Orwell, 60 miles north east of London, Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk. Continuously occupied since Saxon times, Ipswich’s port has been important to the economy of both the town and the whole of East Anglia. A non-metropolitan district, Ipswich’s urban development and population, extends beyond borough boundaries significantly. At the time of the 2011 census, Ipswich was the fourth most populous urban area in the East of England.
