Supporting CANW’s Head Office Relocation to Chorley

The Challenge

When Child Action North West (CANW) decided to move their head office to Chorley, they needed more than just furniture movers — they needed a partner who could deliver a complete office relocation IT solution.  As a charity that supports children, young people and families across the North West, CANW depends heavily on its communications systems and secure digital tools. Any downtime could have affected their essential support services.

To make the move a success, CANW needed:

• A strong and secure new office network setup
• A reliable access control system
• Fast and stable fibre broadband for the office move
• A modern, flexible cloud VoIP phone system for easy remote and cross-site communication

For CANW, keeping staff connected and services running smoothly during the relocation was absolutely vital.

The Solution

Tech-IP worked closely with CANW’s management and relocation teams to plan and deliver a smooth transition. Our goal was simple — to ensure the new office was fully connected and operational from day one.

Here’s what we delivered:

• Network installation: We fitted high-speed Cat6 cabling throughout the building to support reliable connectivity.
• Access control system: Installed a secure, easy-to-manage solution for staff and visitors.
• Full-fibre broadband: Delivered fast, stable internet to support cloud tools, video meetings and day-to-day work.
• Cloud VoIP system: Set up a cloud-hosted phone platform, giving the team flexibility to work from the office, home, or on the go.

Our project managers oversaw every stage, from planning to testing, ensuring everything was ready before moving day. Following proven relocation checklists like this one helps businesses avoid downtime and surprises.

The Result

Thanks to detailed planning and hands-on delivery, CANW’s new Chorley head office was ready for action from day one. The combination of modern technology, fast fibre broadband and a cloud-based phone system meant staff could communicate effortlessly and continue their work without interruption. The move became a chance to upgrade their technology and prepare for future growth.

Today, CANW operates from a workspace that’s not only efficient but built for the future, supporting hybrid working, digital collaboration, and better communication across all teams.  For organisations planning a move, Fitzrovia IT’s relocation checklist is a great starting point to understand what’s needed for a smooth transition.
