About Mike O'Shea
Mike covers Bristol and the whole of the South West, across a patch that changes character every few miles. Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset are full of people running businesses from spare-rooms and small offices; Weston-super-Mare enjoys a great visitor trade that trebles in August but is also cementing itself as a fast-growing commerce centre. Bristol, Bath, Gloucester and Swindon bring a different scale with multi-site firms, internal-IT teams and listed buildings that decide what can be installed. The answer is rarely the same twice, which is the point of having someone local, who knows the patch well, rather than a national quote. With the PSTN and ISDN network closing in January 2027, a growing part of the work is getting businesses off analogue and ISDN lines – including the ones nobody thinks of as phones (like the alarm dialler and card terminal!) – before the deadline forces it.

Where Mike works
Mike looks after businesses in all shapes and sizes, from SoHo and SME, through to Enterprise and world-wide organisations most based from Swindon to Clevedon and from Gloucester to Nailsea, across Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, the city of Bristol and down into the South West, but also with many customers in Ireland with UK operations. SCG Solutions operates UK-wide, so if you run sites elsewhere in the country Mike stays your point of contact for all of them rather than handing you to an account queue.
Still on analogue or ISDN lines? The UK's PSTN network switches off in January 2027, and those lines stop working then. Your existing numbers port across — it is worth a conversation now rather than in the last months before the cut-off.

How do I get in touch with Mike?
Call 07831 659875, email [email protected], or book a meeting directly in Mike's diary using the button above. There is no call centre in between — the number reaches Mike.
What can Mike help with?
Cloud telephony and Microsoft Teams calling, business connectivity from broadband to leased lines, business mobiles across every major UK network, and network security — plus the IT, cloud and support services behind them. Mike handles the discovery and the relationship; SCG's engineers handle design, provisioning and 24/7 support.
Our phone lines are still analogue or ISDN — does that matter?
Yes, and it is the most common reason businesses in Bristol and the South West get in touch. The UK's PSTN and ISDN network switches off in January 2027 and those lines stop working then, so voice has to move to IP before the deadline. Existing numbers port across. It is worth a conversation now rather than in the last months before the cut-off, when installation slots get scarce.
