The business community in Welwyn Garden City.
Welwyn Garden City is unusual because business was part of the plan from the beginning.
Founded in 1920 as Britain's second Garden City, it was designed so people could live and work in the same place, with housing, green space and industry planned together. Early employers included Shredded Wheat, whose former factory and grain silos remain among the town's most recognisable landmarks.
A century later, that live-and-work idea is still visible in the local economy. Shire Park is home to Tesco's registered headquarters, PayPoint and other major employers, while the town also supports smaller businesses across its centre and employment areas.
What disappeared were employers such as Shredded Wheat. What survived was the economic structure the Garden City planners were trying to create: a place designed not simply for people to live, but for substantial numbers of them to work locally too.
Why local matters.
Over the past decade, our lives have moved online, with COVID accelerating that shift. Today, almost everything can be done online.
At the same time, we're seeing another trend. More and more people recognise the benefits of having partners they can meet in person. Some things are simply easier to understand when you're in the same room. The reaction to a comment, a hesitation, a telling look between team members - these are much harder to pick up on a video call.
And for IT, that matters when you want more than support tickets to be resolved. If you want a partner who understands the business and the people who make it work, being able to meet in person makes a real difference.
How Tristar supports local businesses.
Being local only matters if you make use of it.
Beyond day-to-day support, we regularly sit down with clients face-to-face. That means support isn't limited to whatever happens to be in the support queue. Together, we step back and look at three things:
What's coming?
How is the business changing, and what will that mean for your technology?
What should you do next?
What needs to happen now, what can wait and what should you be planning for?
We call these Partnership Reviews. It's a more structured kind of relationship than simply being available for a coffee, and it's why some of our clients describe the value we provide as having a fractional CTO.
