Business in Bishop Auckland

Bishop Auckland is a market town serving south west Durham with light manufacturing, food production, a substantial heritage and tourism investment around the castle and the associated attractions, and a retail centre for the surrounding former coalfield towns. The rural catchment behind it extends into the Pennines. It is a smaller economy than the Durham and Darlington centres nearby, and the businesses are mostly small, owner-managed and working across a wide area.

Sectors we work with around Bishop Auckland

Bishop Auckland — common questions

We are a small business serving a wide rural area from Bishop Auckland. What helps?

A phone system where calls reach people wherever they are rather than at a desk, and mobiles chosen for the routes rather than the office postcode — coverage across the Durham dales varies noticeably between networks. Those two things cover most of what a business your size actually needs from telecoms.

Does the heritage and tourism investment change anything for local businesses?

It concentrates trade into visitor seasons and event periods, which makes flexible capacity worth having rather than a fixed annual arrangement. Licences and connections that can be added for a season and removed after suit that pattern considerably better than a twelve-month commitment sized for the quietest month.

We are a small business in Bishop Auckland. Is any of this worth doing at our size?

The bill review almost always is, and it costs a phone call rather than a commitment. At small scale the win is rarely a new system — it is the line paid for and doing nothing, the agreement that rolled past its term at the original rate, or a mobile tariff still billing for somebody who left. That review frequently pays for itself before anything is bought or changed.
