Business in Manchester
Manchester is the largest business centre in the country outside London, and it is three economies at once: professional and financial services concentrated around Spinningfields and the city core, a large and still-growing technology and digital sector, and Trafford Park — among the oldest and largest industrial estates in the world — on the western edge. The common thread for a growing city-centre business is churn. Teams change size every few months and offices are moved or refitted far more often than elsewhere, so the question is rarely which phone system to buy but whether the one you have survives the next move.

Manchester — common questions
We are moving offices within Manchester. Do we lose our number?
No. Numbers are portable, and with a cloud phone system they are not tied to the building at all — the system follows you because it was never in the building to begin with. In practice a move means taking the handsets with you and pointing the new connection at the same system. The number on your website, your invoices and your Google listing does not change.
How long does a leased line take to install in central Manchester?
It depends on whether fibre already reaches the building, and in the city centre it very often does, which can mean weeks rather than months. Where a landlord has existing capacity it can be quicker still. We check the specific address before quoting a date, and where the lead time is long we bridge the gap with a 4G or 5G circuit so a new office is not sitting dark waiting.
