Business in Devon
Devon’s two cities sit at opposite ends of the county and do different jobs. Plymouth is a naval city with the dockyard, marine engineering and a growing marine autonomy cluster, plus manufacturing at Langage — and it is far enough south west that designs lean towards less on site that can fail. Exeter is the commercial and administrative centre for a very large part of the region, with professional services, public sector, a research university and the Met Office. Between and beyond them the connectivity thins considerably.

Devon — common questions
Devon is a long way from Clevedon. Are you realistically able to cover it?
Plymouth and Exeter are a genuine drive from north Somerset and we would not describe it as local. What that means in practice is that this works well for businesses whose needs are mostly remote — support, changes, monitoring, procurement — and less well for anyone who wants somebody in the building regularly. That is worth deciding before rather than after.
Rural Devon connectivity is poor. What is the realistic answer?
Frequently a 4G or 5G circuit, and we would rather lead with that than quote fibre that is years away. It is live in days, needs an aerial rather than a trench, and is a genuine primary connection for a working business. Where fibre has arrived it is the better answer, and the only way to know which applies is to check the address.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We work across Devon generally, and we have pages for Plymouth, Exeter, Torquay, Barnstaple and Newton Abbot because those are the places we are most often in. Mike O'Shea is based in Clevedon and covers the county. If your town is not listed it does not mean we cannot help — it means nobody has written that page yet, so ring and ask.
Who would I actually be dealing with in Devon?
Mike O'Shea, directly, on 0117 325 8531. Not an account queue and not a different person each time. Behind that sits the Southern Communications Group — the carrier relationships, the buying power and a support desk that runs around the clock — so a small business in Devon is priced inside a national account while dealing with someone local.
What does SCG Solutions do for businesses in Devon?
Cloud telephony and Microsoft Teams calling, business internet from broadband to leased lines, business mobiles across every major UK network, and network security — with IT support, cloud hosting and business continuity behind them. What that looks like in practice varies a lot across Devon, which is why each town has its own page rather than one county-wide answer.
We have sites in more than one Devon town. Can that be one system?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper as well as simpler. One cloud phone system spans every site with internal dialling between them, one bill rather than several, and calls that can be answered at whichever site has someone free. Multi-site is the case where the group buying power tells most, because you are pricing several connections and licence counts at once rather than one.
The 2027 switch-off affects Devon too. Every analogue and ISDN line in the UK stops working in January 2027. If you are not sure what that means for your lines, the detail is worth ten minutes.
