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 is covered by Rich Williams, our director & head of partner recruitment based in Bolton.

Explore serviceNo. 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.
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.
Based on the sectors that make up the local economy — not everything we do, just what tends to come up here.
The 2027 switch-off affects Manchester too. Openreach plans to retire its traditional phone network by 31 January 2027. Check your phone lines, alarms and payment terminals, and plan the move with your provider.
