Flagship, in partnership with a number of local companies, has launched a new pilot project which could transform the way housing providers operate in the future.
The venture involves free Wi-Fi and technology upgrades installed in a block of Flagship Group-owned flats in Ipswich.
The project in its entirety is a first for the region and the housing sector, and is aimed at improving communication with customers, while reducing costs for them and Flagship.
