About us

A bit about us

River Technologies has been providing world-class services to businesses in the North West since 2020, when founder and managing director Jay Dobson opened up his home office in Euxton.

The name River Technologies came about from our local River Ribble and how it connects people, communities, and businesses. And that’s precisely what we do by enabling communication with future-proofed technology.

Not only does our team provide you with the most suitable telecoms equipment but also unparalleled customer support. So, whether you’re just starting out or already established, we can get you growing faster than ever before.

River Technologies is a customer-centric, tech-savvy solutions provider for all your telecoms needs. We specialise in cutting through the jargon and putting our clients’ business goals first with cost-effective telecoms options tailored to their ambitions.

Meet the team

Jay Dobson

Managing Director

Jay has been around telecoms his entire life through his father’s company – Lake Technologies. He was the only 6-year-old in his class who knew what an ISDN circuit was!

Eventually, he started working for Lake as a trainee engineer 10 years ago. After that, he progressed to Operations Manager, running the day-to-day engineering projects and support teams until Lake Technologies was sold in 2020.

He learned his trade on all types of traditional phone systems from Avaya, Samsung, and NEC. Then, as technology advanced, he transitioned to cloud telephony with the market-leading companies Callswitch and Gamma Horizon.

Along with their own customer installations and maintenance, Lake provided technical expertise and engineering resources for many of the North West’s independent Telecoms and IT companies.

As a result, Jay built an enviable reputation as a telecoms specialist, and his team have a great foundation and expertise to call upon.

Phil Kushner

Operations Director

Phil Kushner is our operations director and a specialist in solving telecoms problems. With over a decade of experience in technical roles, his aptitude for finding solutions and following engineering processes means he’s our number one troubleshooter.

Additionally, being an avid musician, his creative side encourages thinking outside the box to solve technical issues. His understanding of complex systems and how they work together gives him a unique perspective when troubleshooting. And because he’s always looking for new challenges, he’s constantly finding ways to improve our clients’ processes and procedures.

In short, Phil is an invaluable member of our team, and we’re lucky to have him on board. If you ever have any telecoms problems, he’s the man to call.
