The Business Switch-Off You Cannot Ignore with Nelly of GBIS Communications

from "It's Your Business" · host Kath Lord-Green

In this episode of It’s Your Business, Kath is joined by Thomas “Nelly” Ellacott of GBIS Communications for an eye-opening conversation about one of the biggest changes facing businesses right now: the phase-out of traditional landlines and the move to digital communications. Nelly explains why so many business owners still do not realise what is coming, what the 2027 switch-off means in practice, and why leaving it too late could cause serious disruption, higher costs and unnecessary stress.Drawing on 15 years in the telecoms industry, Nelly shares how business communications have evolved from dial-up and copper lines to fibre, cloud-based calling and more resilient digital systems. He breaks it all down in plain English, helping businesses understand what they need to look at now, from VoIP and broadband to back-up connectivity and mobiles, so they can stay connected and keep their operations running smoothly.But this episode is also about people. Kath and Nelly talk about the value of local service, real conversations and why businesses still want someone they can actually pick up the phone to when something goes wrong. In a world of bots, ticketing systems and faceless providers, Nelly explains why GBIS Communications prides itself on being responsive, hands-on and genuinely focused on solving problems for clients.This is a practical, timely and reassuring episode for any business owner who wants to stay ahead of the communications changes coming their way, while also being reminded that great service and real human relationships still matter.https://gbiscomms.co.uk/Want to start YOUR own Podcast? Your Fairy Podmother®️www.fairypodmother.co.uk
