Business in Rotherham

Rotherham sits beside the Advanced Manufacturing Park that it shares with Sheffield, and the engineering base around it works at the technical end — aerospace, medical and specialist metals rather than bulk steel, though steel processing continues in the borough. Distribution along the M1 and M18 has grown considerably, and the town centre serves a wide catchment. Firms here are frequently small, specialist and supplying customers considerably larger than themselves, which shapes what they get asked about.

Sectors we work with around Rotherham

Rotherham — common questions

We machine parts for aerospace primes from Rotherham. What is usually asked of suppliers our size?

Segmentation between production and office networks, a monitored firewall, and access that is controlled and reviewed rather than shared. Size no longer offers much protection from these questionnaires. At your scale it is configuration rather than large expense, and the point is answering from what is configured rather than assembling something the week it is asked for.

Our machines are on the same network as email. Is that actually risky?

It means anything reaching a laptop can reach a machine controller, which is the scenario the questionnaires exist for. Separating them is usually configuration rather than new hardware, and it also stops a busy office day affecting equipment on the floor. Worth doing before a customer requires it, because the deadline version is always more expensive.

We work with the Advanced Manufacturing Park at Rotherham. What comes up most?

Upload speed and segmentation. Research and advanced manufacturing work involves moving large datasets out, which is the direction business broadband is worst at, so the headline download figure answers the wrong question. And keeping production, visitor and office systems separated is increasingly what customers and collaborators ask you to evidence rather than assert.
