Business in Westhoughton

Westhoughton sits between Bolton and Wigan at junction 5 of the M61, and Wingates Industrial Estate on its edge gives the town a warehousing and trades base well out of proportion to the size of its high street. A large share of the businesses here are contractors, trades and family firms working out of a yard or a unit rather than an office, where the person who answers the phone is usually driving, on a roof, or holding something. That changes what a phone system has to do: the desk is the least important place for a call to ring.

Sectors we work with around Westhoughton

Westhoughton — common questions

Most of our calls need to reach a van, not a desk. Does a phone system still help?

That is exactly the case it helps most. The business number rings on mobiles rather than a handset nobody is standing next to, calls made back out show the company number instead of a personal mobile, and a missed call can ring the next person on a list rather than going to voicemail. You keep one number on the van livery and the website, and it works wherever the work is.

We are a five-person firm in Westhoughton. Is any of this worth it at our size?

The honest answer is that some of it is and some of it is not, which is why the first conversation is about what you actually run now. Small firms usually gain most from getting off ageing copper lines before 2027 forces it, and from mobiles bought at group rates rather than retail. A full system with call queues and recording is often more than a five-person firm needs.
