Who We Are
WE MAKE YOUR LIFE EASY
At Ipswich Embroidery and Print we know you’d rather be working on what makes you money. Whether you’re a sole trading landscaper, accountant or run a FTSE500 company – worrying about work wear, signage, business cards and banners probably isn’t what you got into business for, and potentially isn’t what you’re happiest dealing with either!
Regardless of If you talk to Matt or Adam you’re going to speak to a business owner who “gets it”. We’ll take the time to find out who you are, what you do, what you need and crucially how WE can make that as simple, quick and easy for you, and all at a great price.
SO WHY Choose US
1. Logo design & Digitizing
Chances are you don’t know the difference between an EPS, Ai, TAP or EMB file, much less about what each of them do, and what DPI we need them to be. Why would you??? That’s not your job! You just want it on your poster, business card or T-shirt. That’s why we design, digitize, trace and recreate artwork all in-house for you.
2. Try Before You Buy.
Try before you buy! Obviously we love our online catalogue ( Ipswich Embroidery & Print (our-catalogue.com) ) but we understand sizes differ between brands and body types which is why we hold a large collection of garments in stock at our Claydon address just outside of Ipswich, Suffolk so if you want to come down and try on a few T-shirts, polos or jumpers before placing an order then just get in touch and let us know!
3. DESIGN PROOFING
Design and Proofing. When you work with Ipswich Embroidery and Print you’ll receive full sets of digital proofs before anything is progressed, so you’ll get peace of mind knowing exactly what the finished article will look like. Delivered through our online platform which also carries our Terms and Conditions helps us really “double down” on making sure our customers are fully informed and happy before spending their money with us!
4 – Your very own online shop!
Your very own online shop! With our bespoke built shop and ordering platform let us host your very own online shop. Once shared with your customers or club members it now potentially removes YOU from the whole ordering, processing, payment and delivery process.

The boring stuff
Ipswich Embroidery and Print was founded by husband and wife team Adam and Tenesha Scott following Adams decision to leave his career in teaching. This was actually a return to the world of Embroidery which he had worked in previously providing personalised martial arts equipment and attire.
In September 2020 IEP merged with another local business, GDS Signage, run by Matt and Alex Roberts-Harbour and relocated from Matt’s smaller unit to the larger premises on the Claydon Business Park they now operate out of. With the merger came the influx of Matt’s printing and laminating equipment, his expertise and seemingly endless supply of office snacks.
On September 14th IEP also took delivery of “Bertha” and “Gertrude”, our two multi-head embroidery machines, offering us 32 heads of embroidery in-house. With this expanded service and scale offering IEP is now in a position to keep it’s local, personal roots but now with a national reach.
Adam – Born in Stockton at some point in the 1980’s, he met Tenesha at University in Kent before settling in Ipswich and starting his family. Adam fills the roll of Office Manager covering most of the artwork, design and sales enquiries. He’s passionate about promptly replying to emails and enquiries and loves a good “system”. Famous for his cheery “how do?” greeting (It’s a northern thing, I think) and for just assuming anyone who walks through the door is a life long friend you’re in good hands if Adam picks up the phone when you call!
Matt – Whilst Matt was born in Lowestoft earlier than Adam in the 1980s, he spent most his life in leafy Surrey before moving to Colchester for University. Following some “proper jobs” in London for the likes of EMAP and UBM he struck out alone as self employed, Fast forward to 2015, Matt married Alex, moved to Ipswich and GDS Signage was founded.
Matt is IEP Production Manager, responsible for the order and delivery of work done inhouse. As well as being a perfectionist, Matt is famous for having an unending supply of strongly held opinions and anecdotes which he feels everyone should be told about.
