0114 Sheffield Numbers

Why an 0114 number helps your business

Sheffield made its name in steel and cutlery, and that engineering tradition lives on in the city's manufacturing firms today. Sheffield also has two large universities, a growing digital sector and plenty of small businesses serving its neighbourhoods, from Hillsborough to the villages on the edge of the Peak District. Buyers here often value plain talking and a contact they can reach easily.

An 0114 number gives callers that local contact. It signals that you know the city, and people are more willing to ring a business that seems close at hand. You can have one without an office in Sheffield. Calls simply forward to the phone or system you already use, wherever it is.

About the 0114 area code

0114 covers Sheffield and nearby communities such as Stocksbridge, Ecclesfield, High Green, Oughtibridge, Mosborough, Dore and Totley. Rotherham, despite being next door, has its own code (01709), and Chesterfield uses 01246. Sheffield numbers are written 0114 xxx xxxx, with a seven-digit local number.

Before April 1995 the city used 0742. PhONEday gave Sheffield, along with four other cities, a brand new code, and 0114 has been in use ever since. From abroad, callers dial +44 114 and then the seven digits.

Who uses Sheffield numbers

Manufacturers and engineering suppliers

Firms that make or supply parts for customers in South Yorkshire can show an 0114 number to buyers, while calls go to a sales office in another part of the country.

Student lettings and services

Landlords, letting agents and removal firms that serve the student market can publish a Sheffield number. Time-of-day routing sends calls to the office during the day and to an on-call mobile in the evening.

Outdoor and leisure businesses

Guides, bike hire firms and activity providers working on the edge of the Peak District spend much of the day outdoors. Diverting a Sheffield number to a mobile, with voicemail sent to email, keeps them reachable.
