They are also doing that better in the title. Why don't you try to experiment with these things a bit and see if you can take over the number 1 spot. Maybe it might just do it. (if both site's backlink factors are fairly similar for that keyword phrase.)
Hi Peter, yes I was thinking that all I need to do is repeat 'web design suffolk' two more times in the page title lol.

Whats amusing about the other site is that when I was number 1 (before I met webnauts and we targetted more phrases) that was MY page title, the guy almost copied my meta tags too. All he did is change ipswich to sudbury.

His domain isnt even more than a year old! He has a lot less inbound links than me. Surely these onpage factors cant be the reason he's ranking above me?

I've got over double the amount of traffic to my site too!
