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. Mike O'Shea is your primary contact, based in Clevedon. Coverage and installation options are checked for your sites; if your town is not listed, send us the postcode and requirements.

Who would I actually be dealing with in Devon?

Mike O'Shea, based in Clevedon, on 07831 659875. Your named contact helps scope the requirements and coordinate the appropriate service teams within the Southern Communications Group. Support arrangements and responsibilities are confirmed for the services you choose.

What does SCG Solutions do for businesses in Devon?

IT support, cyber security, cloud telephony and Microsoft Teams calling, business internet from broadband to leased lines, and business mobiles. The right scope depends on your users, sites and existing systems. The town pages describe more of the local context across Devon.

We have sites in more than one Devon town. Can that be one system?

A shared cloud phone system can link your sites, route calls between available teams and let people work across locations. We review connectivity, user licences, number-porting requirements and the support scope together. Any costs or savings are confirmed in the proposal rather than assumed.

The 2027 switch-off affects Devon too. Openreach plans to retire its traditional phone network by 31 January 2027. Check your phone lines, alarms and payment terminals, and plan the move with your provider.
