Penn Commercial is Suffolk’s leading independent commercial property agent, established by Vanessa Penn in 2007.
With over 80 years’ combined property experience across East Anglia, Penn prides itself on offering a personalised, award-winning ‘end-to-end’ service, across commercial agency, property management and professional consultancy.

We are a responsive and friendly team, and our extensive database and brand presence provide us with the knowledge and outreach to be able to target occupiers and tenants seeking commercial property.
Specialising in commercial agency, initially, Penn has expanded to incorporate commercial property management, consultancy and professional services.
With a mission to provide expert local knowledge, coupled with a proactive service, Penn has been able to achieve optimum results for its clients, across all commercial property sectors.
Penn enjoys a high profile, with an ever increasing brand presence across the county. With expert local knowledge in the East Anglian region and an award-winning team, Penn is committed to increasing market share and geographical coverage, providing ‘best value’ and maximum exposure for all of our customers.
"In my role as Commercial Agency Director for a number of Stock Market-listed property companies, I was responsible for the regional offices, as well as the marketing of commercial agency nationally. I had gained 25 years’ experience working with some of the best names in the property industry.
"It was in 2007, under the Erinaceous Plc banner – and the start of a recession – that I had to make the decision to either change direction completely and follow a new career, or take up the challenge of setting up independently, under my own banner.
"Having been encouraged by a number of established clients, who I had gained during my time working in Ipswich and Suffolk, I launched Penn Commercial, with a new logo and brand image - and a determination to provide a proactive, tailored and efficient 'end-to-end' service.
"Penn has been established for over 18 years now and has expanded from commercial agency to include property and facilities management, as well as professional services. We have grown our market share in Ipswich and the region, as well as further afield, and we are proud to be the largest firm of independent agents in Suffolk.”
