Northern Flags
A City Fibre leased line provided speed, quality, reliability and agility to meet customer demand.
Northern Flags Case Study
Northern Flags are the UK’s leading wide format fabric printer for products such as flags, banners, barrier jackets, exhibition print, and display boards.
They have a state-of-the-art factory in Leeds but also have sister companies for specialised products and extra-large shipments around the world, so communication and internet accessibility have become critical components of their IT infrastructure.
Northern Flags’ Challenges
A critical component to achieving this was their internet access and they had been ‘making do’ with the same connection they had at their previous site. Since investing in modern manufacturing equipment, networking and telephony issues were becoming more and more frequent and difficult to manage:
- Very slow and unreliable speeds
- Unpredictable and unable to cope with the demand
- Unreliable access to key cloud-based services such as VoIP
- Interruption of business processes
- A frustrated and less productive workforce

They can also compete more effectively by introducing new ways to work and keep pace with the digital world, assured that their point of access has guaranteed uptime.
