ISG awarded £100m East Mids contract
Santander has awarded Interior Services Group (ISG) a contract to build and fit-out a £100m data centre in the East Midlands.
The project in Narborough, Leicestershire, will involve the construction of two identical buildings, each with an individual gross floor area of more than 161,000 sq ft, which will be built at the same time.
ISG said the technically complex fit-out of the buildings includes a highly resilient services installation, enabling full maintenance of the 24/7 operating facility.
ISG chief executive David Lawther added: "We are delighted to announce this contract win. We have been focusing our efforts on the data centre market, bringing together a highly skilled technical team.
"We expect further growth in this area as we focus on our multinational clients and on their increasingly demanding technical requirements."
The two buildings will be constructed on the old Carlton Hayes Hospital cricket ground in Carlton Park.
Santander expects between 50 and 70 full-time positions to be created when the centre opens.
