North-East leaders launch forum to drive data centre growth
A consortium of north-east engineering and manufacturing powerhouses has launched a not-for-profit forum designed to help shape and propel the future of the data centre sector in the region.
The North East Data Centre Hub has been founded by major global companies including RED Engineering Design, Cleveland Cable Company, CMP Products, Durata and RWO Associates. Together they share an ambition to develop a strong local engineering, construction and digital supply chain to support data centre projects across the region and beyond.
John McGee, Group CEO at Durata, said: “The hub provides an excellent opportunity for professionals in the sector to collaborate, share innovation and exchange best practice.
“By strengthening local connections, we can amplify the north-east’s contribution to the wider UK and global data centre market.”
