A Collaborative Forum to Support the Growth of the North East Data Centre Sector
A consortium of leading North East engineering and manufacturing powerhouses have joined forces to launch a new 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 the founding members share a clear ambition to build momentum by collaborating on the development of a strong local engineering, construction, and digital supply chain to support data centre projects across the region and beyond.
With the North East strongly positioned as one of Europe’s largest data‑centre and AI infrastructure hubs - driven by government policy, energy availability, and major hyperscale investment - the launch of the hub provides an opportunity to shape the conversation locally and accelerate growth through regular engagement. The initiative aims to unlock the region’s full potential as a leading data centre destination.
To mark its launch, the consortium will host the North East Data Centre Hub’s first networking event - which is already fully booked - on 25th February at Liberty House in Newcastle city centre.
Speaking about the North East Data Centre Hub and its first event, John McGee at Durata said:
