Business in Salford

Salford holds two very different economies within a couple of miles. MediaCityUK and the Quays are broadcast, production and digital — businesses that move very large files, run live, and treat upload speed as a first-order requirement rather than a footnote. Inland it is far more traditional: industrial units, trades and logistics running towards Trafford Park, where the work is physical and the premises are old. Selling into both means the same week can involve a post-production studio and a fabrication unit with a single analogue line.

Sectors we work with around Salford

Salford — common questions

We move very large video files from a studio at MediaCityUK. Is normal business broadband enough?

Rarely. Broadband is built to download far faster than it uploads, and production work is the opposite shape — you are pushing rushes and masters out, not pulling them in. A leased line gives you the same speed both ways with a guaranteed fix time, which is the difference between a delivery deadline you can promise and one you can only hope for.

Can a Salford business get a phone system that works for both an office and a workshop?

Yes, and it is a common shape here. The office runs on handsets or Teams, the workshop runs on mobiles and, where it is noisy, on a loud ringer or a beacon rather than a phone nobody can hear. Both sit on one system with one number, so a caller does not need to know which part of the building they want.

Often asked for around Salford

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 Salford 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.
