Business in Sheffield

Sheffield still makes things, and makes them at the technical end. The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and the innovation district along the Parkway anchor an engineering base working in aerospace, medical and high-specification metals — a long way from the bulk steel the city is remembered for. Two universities feed it, the city centre carries retail and professional services, and a good deal of the older industrial stock in the Don Valley has been converted into studios and small workshops. Precision engineering firms tend to run expensive machinery on networks nobody has looked at since it was installed.

Sectors we work with around Sheffield

Sheffield — common questions

Our Sheffield workshop has CNC machines on the same network as the office. Is that a problem?

It can be, and it is worth separating before something forces the issue. Production equipment on the same flat network as email and web browsing means anything that reaches a laptop can reach a machine controller. Segmenting them is configuration rather than new hardware in most cases, and it is increasingly what a customer security questionnaire in aerospace or medical is asking about.

We supply into aerospace from Sheffield. What do audits usually want to see?

Documented network segmentation, a managed firewall with monitoring, and evidence that access is controlled and reviewed rather than a shared password everyone knows. The useful part is being able to answer from what is actually configured. We would rather build it that way from the start than reconstruct it the week an auditor is booked.

The 2027 switch-off affects Sheffield 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.
