A new phone and laptop repair shop is set to open its doors on Ipswich's Buttermarket, bringing the total number of similar businesses in the town centre to twelve.

Why it matters: The arrival of Mobile Crafts adds to the growing number of mobile phone repair businesses in Ipswich town centre, in what must be one of the most hotly contested device repair markets in the world.
