Business in Leicestershire

Leicestershire is distribution country with a genuinely diverse manufacturing base underneath it. Leicester itself has textiles and clothing production that remains a real employer, food production, and space and engineering research around the university. Hinckley sits where the M69 meets the M1 and A5 with national logistics operations. Loughborough is a university town with a strong sports science and engineering research base feeding technical spin-outs. Large sheds and small owner-managed firms, frequently within sight of each other.

Towns we cover in Leicestershire

Each one has its own page — the local business landscape, who covers it and the questions that come up there.

Leicestershire — common questions

Leicester has a lot of textile and food manufacturing. What comes up most?

Segmentation and floor coverage. Keeping machines, visitors and finance systems off one flat network is increasingly what customer audits ask about, and it is usually configuration rather than new equipment. Coverage on a production floor is the other half — dust, machinery and racking defeat access points placed the way an office would place them.

We are in Loughborough or Hinckley rather than Leicester. Same answer?

Broadly the same technical questions, different weighting. Loughborough has a university and research base that pushes upload speed and reliability up the list; Hinckley is closer to the logistics corridor, where shed coverage and failover matter more. The county page is the map rather than the answer, which is why the towns have their own.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

We work across Leicestershire generally, and we have pages for Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley because those are the places we are most often in. Imrul Khandokar is based in Shipston-on-Stour and covers the county. If your town is not listed it does not mean we cannot help — it means nobody has written that page yet, so ring and ask.

Who would I actually be dealing with in Leicestershire?

Imrul Khandokar, directly, on 07880 725947. Not an account queue and not a different person each time. Behind that sits the Southern Communications Group — the carrier relationships, the buying power and a support desk that runs around the clock — so a small business in Leicestershire is priced inside a national account while dealing with someone local.

What does SCG Solutions do for businesses in Leicestershire?

Cloud telephony and Microsoft Teams calling, business internet from broadband to leased lines, business mobiles across every major UK network, and network security — with IT support, cloud hosting and business continuity behind them. What that looks like in practice varies a lot across Leicestershire, which is why each town has its own page rather than one county-wide answer.

We have sites in more than one Leicestershire town. Can that be one system?

Yes, and it is usually cheaper as well as simpler. One cloud phone system spans every site with internal dialling between them, one bill rather than several, and calls that can be answered at whichever site has someone free. Multi-site is the case where the group buying power tells most, because you are pricing several connections and licence counts at once rather than one.

The 2027 switch-off affects Leicestershire 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.
