Business in Blackburn
Blackburn kept more of its manufacturing than most former mill towns. There is a substantial engineering and aerospace supply chain here, food production at scale, and a base of family-owned industrial firms that have been in the same buildings for generations — often literally the same buildings, with the wiring to match. Whitebirk and the estates along the M65 hold much of the newer space. It is a town where the phone system is frequently older than the person answering it, and where the 2027 switch-off is going to arrive as a genuine surprise to a lot of businesses.

Blackburn — common questions
Our Blackburn phone system is twenty years old and still works. Do we have to touch it?
Yes, though not because of the system itself — because of the lines feeding it. Anything that age runs on ISDN or analogue, and that network closes in January 2027. The system will keep working right up until the lines stop, and then it will not work at all. The number ports across to whatever replaces it, so the change is smaller than two decades of familiarity makes it feel.
We are a family firm and nobody here handles IT. Who actually does the work?
We do, and that includes finding out what you have got. Most firms in this position cannot produce a list of their own lines, which is fine — that is the audit, not a prerequisite for it. You get a named person rather than a ticket system, and the work is scheduled around production rather than whenever an engineer is free.
