Local to Ipswich
Optimus is run from Hadleigh, ten miles west of Ipswich. For an Ipswich workplace that means the person who surveys your site, recommends the setup and looks after the account can sit across the table from you, while installation and servicing run on the same UK-wide engineer network that supports every Optimus client.
A survey in Ipswich is a visit, not a video call. We look at headcount, peak times, plumbing and power, and talk through the options face to face.
Regular check-ins with the person who specified your setup, so menus, machines and service levels change as your team does.
Installs and service calls are handled by engineers across the UK, with service calls responded to within an average of 8 working hours. It is the same standard every Optimus site gets.

Find the site most like yours. The survey decides the detail, but this is where the conversation usually starts.
Town centre and the Waterfront
The brief is usually coffee good enough that people stop walking to the coffee shop, with no one on staff having to look after the machine.
We usually recommend
A compact bean to cup machine such as the Dr Coffee T200 or Coffetek Vitro X1 on a fully managed package. Client-facing spaces lean towards the Franke A600.
Ransomes Europark, Whitehouse, Hadleigh Road
Shifts run early and late, so the priority is hot drinks that never run dry, snacks and cold drinks on the shop floor, and water that does not mean carrying bottles upstairs.
We usually recommend
A floor-standing hot drinks vending machine with contactless payment, a snack and drinks combo, and mains fed water coolers.
Martlesham, the university quarter, healthcare
Hundreds of users a day, so volume and reliability matter more than anything else.
We usually recommend
High-capacity machines such as the Franke A800 or Coffetek Vitro X4, banked with snack and cold drinks vending.
From Ipswich we also cover Martlesham, Kesgrave, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and the port, Needham Market and Stowmarket, and the villages along the A12 and A14. If you are anywhere in IP1 to IP13, we are close by.
A representative shortlist. Every machine is available on rental or as part of a fully managed package.

Common questions from Ipswich workplaces.
Yes. Ipswich town centre, the Waterfront, Ransomes Europark, Whitehouse, Hadleigh Road, Martlesham and Adastral Park, Kesgrave, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and Needham Market. We are based in Hadleigh, IP7, about ten miles away.
Both. The business is run from Hadleigh, so surveys, consultations and account reviews for Ipswich clients happen in person. Installation and servicing use the same nationwide engineer network that supports our clients across the UK, so the service standard is identical wherever your sites are.
Most table-top bean to cup installs need a single visit once the survey is done and the machine is available. Plumbed-in and floor-standing machines need a little more planning around water and power. We give you a date at survey stage.
Yes. Most Ipswich clients take a fully managed package or a rental: machine, installation, servicing and beans for a monthly fee, with no capital outlay. Outright purchase is available too, with a servicing contract alongside.
Call us on 0330 678 4687. Service calls are responded to within an average of 8 working hours by our UK-wide engineer network, and remote monitoring often flags a fault before anyone on site notices, so the engineer arrives with the right part.
