Business in Lancaster

Lancaster is a university city with a historic centre, and the two shape its economy between them: a large student and academic population supporting retail and hospitality, a research base generating small technology and environmental science firms, and a professional services layer serving north Lancashire. The port at Glasson and the agricultural economy of the Lune Valley sit behind it. The medieval and Georgian centre constrains installation, while the university and business park space on the edges does not.

Sectors we work with around Lancaster

Lancaster — common questions

We are a spin-out from the university in Lancaster. What should we not overbuy?

Anything sized for the headcount you hope to have. Cloud telephony scales by licence count so growth costs nothing until it happens; the item worth sizing generously is the connection, because that is the one with a lead time when you suddenly need it. Buying a large phone system early is the classic spin-out mistake.

Our Lancaster premises is Georgian and the landlord is protective. What can be installed?

Usually more than the landlord fears, because modern telephony needs almost nothing fixed to the building — no cabinet, no cabling to every desk if wireless carries it, and handsets that plug into a network point. The conversation with a protective landlord is generally shorter than expected once they see what is actually being proposed.

We work with the university from Lancaster. Does that add anything?

Usually guest access that is genuinely separated, so visiting academics and students on your network cannot reach your finance systems — configuration rather than a purchase. And a connection sized for sending as well as receiving, since collaborative work with a university involves moving files out, which is the direction business broadband handles worst.
