TPS Ipswich expands capacity with relocation

TPS Ipswich has said it is ready to further ramp up operations and meet increased demand for parts following its relocation to a new 13,000 ft2 site.

The new site (pictured) at Sproughton, near Ipswich, is now among the biggest centres in the TPS network with a sales office, warehouse, board room and meeting rooms housed in the main building.

TPS said the increased space has brought additional capacity, enabling the firm to cater for demand across an expanded number of local and regional territories, and an 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, Saxmundham, Sudbury and Woodbridge. 

Those deliveries are carried out by a 15-strong fleet that includes three EVs.

Battery testing

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.

“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.”

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.
