Business in Colchester

Colchester is Britain’s oldest recorded town and one of its newest cities, and its economy runs on three things that rarely overlap: a large military garrison with the supply chain and housing around it, a university with a substantial research presence, and a professional and retail base serving north Essex. Agriculture and food production fill the countryside behind it. The historic centre is constrained by Roman and medieval fabric while the business parks on the edges are modern and straightforward — the two halves need completely different installations.

Colchester — common questions

Does SCG actually cover Essex?

Yes — SCG supplies businesses across the whole UK, and Colchester and Chelmsford both have pages here because they are substantial commercial centres worth writing about properly. What Essex does not have is a resident SCG Solutions director, so this is service-area coverage: same products, same round-the-clock fault desk, a named contact, but not somebody twenty minutes down the road.

Our Colchester office is in the historic centre. Is that a problem for installation?

It constrains the cabling rather than the system. Cloud telephony removes the on-site cabinet entirely, which takes most of the intrusive work out of a traditional install, and where cabling cannot be run through protected fabric, wireless links between floors usually cover it. The business parks on the edge of town have none of these constraints at all.
