Resilient IT for Exmouth's makers and producers
For the makers and light-industry firms around the town, an outage stops the line and stalls orders. We build IT, connectivity and phones with the resilience to keep production running.
Alongside Exmouth's marina and seafront sits a working base of makers, light industry and small manufacturers around the town's business areas. These are firms where the office, the workshop and the dispatch bay all depend on systems that stay up; when the connection drops or the network falls over, production and orders stop with it. We design IT and comms around that reality, not around a quiet office — and we're 20 minutes up the road.
Workshop and office, joined up
A workshop or production floor is a harder environment for IT than an office — dust, distance and machinery between you and a clean signal. We design and install structured cabling and Wi-Fi that holds up where standard kit struggles, then size the right connectivity with failover, so the stock and ordering systems your operation rides on stay connected.
Built for businesses that grow
We support manufacturers as they expand beyond a single unit, joining sites onto one phone system, one support model and resilient links between them. Cobalt has been with Multipanel UK as they grew into an international, multi-site, sixty-million-pound business — the kind of growth that breaks a patched-together setup.
Local to Exmouth

What we handle
What Exmouth manufacturing businesses come to us for
Downtime stops the line
When systems go down, production and dispatch stop with them. We build in resilient connectivity, 4G failover and tested backups so an outage doesn't bring the whole operation to a halt.
Multi-site, joined up
Manufacturers often run office, warehouse and production across sites. We join them onto one phone system and one support model with resilient links, so the sites work as one operation.
Connectivity on the factory floor
A factory floor is a harsh environment for IT — dust, distance, machinery. We design and install cabling and Wi-Fi that gives you solid coverage where standard kit struggles.
Resilient connections
ERP, stock systems and cloud apps all ride on the connection. We size the right connectivity — up to a dedicated leased line — with failover, so the link your business runs on stays up.
Securing the operation
Manufacturers are an attractive target, and a breach can halt production. Cyber Essentials, monitoring and tested backups close off the common attacks and get you back up fast.
Phones across the whole site
Reception, the warehouse, the floor — people need to be reachable across a large site. A cloud phone system extends to every corner, on desk phones, mobiles and DECT handsets.
