Business in Galashiels
Galashiels is the largest of the Borders towns and its economy retains a genuine textiles base — knitwear and woollens at the specialist end, supplying well beyond the region — alongside a university campus, retail serving the central Borders, and agriculture across the surrounding hills. The Borders Railway has improved links to Edinburgh considerably. Businesses here are typically small and long-established, in older premises, working across a rural area where connectivity varies with the terrain.

Galashiels — common questions
We are a Borders textiles firm selling internationally. What matters?
A connection that holds up for the sales and logistics side rather than production, and a number that presents properly to international callers — not every older setup handled inbound international calls well. For a business selling well beyond its area, being reachable reliably is worth more than anything else on a supplier list.
Terrain here is hilly. Does that affect the options?
It affects fixed wireless considerably, because line of sight is the constraint and the Borders hills frequently deny it. Fibre has reached the larger towns better than the countryside. It is genuinely a per-address question here, and we would rather survey than promise from a map.
We are a textiles business in Galashiels selling well beyond the Borders. What matters most?
Being reachable and being able to send things. A firm supplying customers nationally or abroad is judged on whether calls get answered and whether large files — patterns, specifications, photography — move without a struggle, and business broadband is weakest at exactly the sending half. It is worth checking your upload speed rather than the headline figure, because that is the number that constrains the work.
