History

Established in 1974 and initially based at East Suffolk County Hall, the Council was located to Endeavour House in Ipswich in 2004.[1] In September 2010, the council announced that it would seek to outsource a number of its services, in an attempt to cut its own budget by 30%.[2] In 2011 controversy surrounding the CEO Andrea Hill featured in local and national press (including £122,000 spent on management consultants),[3] leading to her disciplinary hearing and resignation.[4]

Structure of the County Council

The County Council is led by its CEO Nicola Beach, who has been in this role since May 2018[5].

The Council is split into 5 distinct areas known as directorates[6]. Each directorate has responsibility for a range of services and statutory requirements.
