Communications and IT services for Newry businesses, the A1 corridor and cross-border enterprises
Newry occupies a unique position in the Northern Ireland business landscape. Sitting at the gateway between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the city has built a thriving commercial economy driven by cross-border trade, retail, logistics and professional services. The A1 dual carriageway connects Newry directly to Belfast and Dublin, making it a natural base for businesses that operate on both sides of the border.
Drakos Systems provides business phone systems, managed IT services, broadband and CCTV to companies across Newry and the wider south Armagh and south Down region. We understand the specific challenges that Newry businesses face, from cross-border communications to connectivity in more rural areas, and we deliver solutions that work.
Newry was granted city status in 2002 and has continued to grow as a commercial centre ever since. The city's retail sector is one of its strongest assets, with The Quays shopping centre, Buttercrane Centre and the traditional high street drawing shoppers from across the border region. This retail strength creates significant demand for reliable broadband, modern phone systems and comprehensive CCTV security.
The logistics and distribution sector is another cornerstone of Newry's economy. The city's position on the A1 corridor makes it a natural hub for haulage, warehousing and freight forwarding companies. These businesses need robust IT infrastructure to manage fleet tracking, customer communications and supply chain operations. Many are now adopting cloud-based phone systems that allow drivers and office staff to stay connected through a single platform.
Cross-border trade is woven into the fabric of Newry's business community. Companies here routinely deal with customers and suppliers in both jurisdictions, which means their communications systems need to handle calls to both UK and Irish numbers efficiently. Our VoIP solutions make cross-border calling straightforward and cost-effective, with competitive rates for calls to the Republic of Ireland.
Newry also has a growing professional services sector, with solicitors, accountants and financial advisors serving the local population and the wider Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area. The Warrenpoint harbour area adds port-related businesses and marine services to the mix, while towns like Kilkeel contribute a strong fishing and food processing industry.

One of the biggest advantages of modern VoIP phone systems for Newry businesses is simplified cross-border calling. Traditional phone lines often meant expensive international rates for calls to the Republic of Ireland. With our cloud phone systems, calls to Irish numbers are included at competitive rates, and your team can use the same system whether they are in Newry, Dublin or anywhere else with an internet connection.
If your business is still running on traditional phone lines, the PSTN switch-off means you will need to move to a digital system before 2027. We make this transition seamless for Newry businesses.
