Business in Durham

Durham is dominated by its university and the cathedral city around it, with a large student population, a substantial public sector including county government, and a professional services base serving the area. Around the city sit business parks carrying technology and engineering occupiers, and the former coalfield towns with their own manufacturing and distribution employment. The peninsula and the historic centre are protected fabric of the most restrictive kind, so the two halves of the local economy have very little in common technically.

Sectors we work with around Durham

Durham — common questions

Our Durham office is in the protected centre. Realistically, what can we have?

Cloud telephony with handsets and a network point, and wireless links where cabling cannot be run — which in that part of the city is often the case. There is no cabinet to install and no reason to touch the fabric for the phone system itself. The connection into the building is the part that needs checking early.

Term time trebles our trade and summer empties it. Is that manageable?

Yes, if it is set up to flex from the start. Licences and mobile connections can be added for term and dropped over the summer rather than being fixed for a year, and seasonal staff can be added to the system for weeks at a time. The alternative, paying peak rates through a dead August, is the default nobody chooses deliberately.

The 2027 switch-off affects Durham 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.
