Business in St Helens

St Helens was built on glass and glass manufacturing is still a significant employer, alongside a broader base of light manufacturing, chemicals and a very large distribution presence using the M62 and the position between Liverpool and Manchester. The town centre serves a substantial local population. Much of the industrial premises are older and hard-wearing, and the businesses in them are frequently long-established with equipment and infrastructure of similar vintage — including phone systems that have not been touched in twenty years.

Sectors we work with around St Helens

St Helens — common questions

Our St Helens factory phone system has been in since the 1990s. What now?

It has to change, because the lines feeding it stop working in January 2027 rather than because the system itself has failed. The question is whether SIP trunking keeps it alive for a few more years or whether replacing it outright is better value. Your numbers port either way, so nothing printed or on signage is affected.

The factory floor is noisy and nobody hears the phone. Is there a fix?

Yes, and it is a common one. Loud ringers and beacons that flash rather than sound cover noisy areas, and mobiles behaving as extensions mean supervisors are reachable on the main number wherever they are. It is a small addition to the design rather than a different system, and it removes the most persistent complaint in most factories.

Often asked for around St Helens

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 St Helens 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.
