FIPS was formed after research conducted by the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) showed the need to align the work of Financial and Professional firms, Local Government and Further Educational establishments like the University of Suffolk. The aim of the FIPS Group is to promote and support the financial, insurance and professional services sectors within Ipswich and Suffolk by working with schools, colleges and universities to create a greater understanding of these sectors and address the skills gap.Throughout the year we host several Executive Dinners and Breakfasts for local business leaders to come together and affect change in the area.
