Business in East Sussex
East Sussex holds two coastal economies that could hardly be less alike. Brighton is small creative, digital and professional firms — agencies and studios of five to fifty people, many in converted upper floors around the Lanes — alongside a conference trade and two universities. Twenty miles east, Eastbourne runs on visitors and on a very large care sector that reflects its demographics and does not stop at any hour. One is bandwidth-hungry and has nobody in IT; the other needs to be contactable around the clock and has monitoring equipment on lines that will not survive 2027.

East Sussex — common questions
Brighton is full of small creative and digital firms. What do they typically get wrong?
Buying for download when the constraint is upload. Sending large files out on business broadband is several times slower than receiving them, which is exactly the wrong way round for studio and agency work. The second is committing to a circuit term longer than the lease, in a city where a great many of these businesses move every few years.
We are a seafront business in Eastbourne or Hastings. Does the seasonality change anything?
It changes what you should commit to. Licences and seats can flex up for the season and back down, so a summer team does not set the winter bill. Connectivity cannot, so it should be sized for August rather than January — a connection that only copes in the off-season is not a saving, it is a failure deferred to the month you can least afford it.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We work across East Sussex generally, and we have pages for Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings. Nick Thomas is your primary contact, based in Worthing. Coverage and installation options are checked for your sites; if your town is not listed, send us the postcode and requirements.

What does SCG Solutions do for businesses in East Sussex?
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 East Sussex.
We have sites in more than one East Sussex 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 East Sussex 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.
