Business in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the second largest financial centre in the UK, and asset management, banking and insurance shape the commercial core around Charlotte Square and the Exchange district. Alongside that sits a substantial technology sector — the university spin-outs and the data and fintech firms clustered around them — a legal and public-sector base tied to the Scottish Parliament and the courts, and a festival and tourism economy that expands the city’s population dramatically for a month every summer. Almost all of it operates from listed Georgian and Victorian buildings in a World Heritage centre, which decides a great deal about what can be installed.

Edinburgh — common questions
Our Edinburgh office is a listed New Town building. What limits what we can install?
The cabling more than the system. Cloud telephony helps precisely because there is no cabinet and nothing on site beyond handsets and a network, so the intrusive part of a traditional install disappears. Where cabling genuinely cannot be run in a listed interior, wireless links between floors and carefully placed access points usually solve it without anyone applying for consent.
The Festival trebles our trade for a month. Can capacity follow that?
Yes, and August is exactly the case for building it that way rather than sizing for a quiet February. Phone licences and mobile connections can be added for the month and removed after; guest Wi-Fi can be provisioned for a full house rather than an average night. The failure people remember is an engaged tone during the four weeks that pay for the year.
