Data Centre service company doubles down at Slough Trading Estate
SEGRO, a leading owner, manager and developer of modern warehouses, industrial property and data centres, has secured a third lease with a data centre services provider which will see the company more than double the size of its presence at Slough Trading Estate, Europe’s largest data centre cluster
The company, which specialises in the installation of servers into data centres in addition to cargo handling for land transport activities, has agreed to lease a newly completed, highly sustainable 32,200 sq ft facility on Stirling Road.
The company already occupies a 21,000 sq ft facility on Edinburgh Avenue, which it will retain, in addition to operations in Germany, part of SEGRO’s pan European portfolio.
The expansion reflects Slough Trading Estate’s role as a long established hub for data centres and the specialist companies that support them, where proximity, connectivity and resilience are critical to efficient operations.
Anna Bond, Head of Western Corridor at SEGRO, said:
“Slough Trading Estate is the proud home of Europe’s largest data centre cluster, underpinning the country’s digital economy and growth aspirations. Our data centre cluster has developed over 20 years appealing to a range of other companies in the data centre supply chain, creating employment and contributing to the local economy. It’s always gratifying when a customer chooses to grow its presence with us and this provider is an important customer for us here in Slough and also in Germany.”
Slough Trading Estate is the largest privately-owned industrial estate in single ownership in Europe. Over one third of the estate is less than 10 years old. Local amenities including high street banks, restaurants, shops, fitness facilities and healthcare centres are all within easy reach on the estate, creating a vibrant business community for occupants.
