Huge Newport Data Centre Project secures support from Lombard

One of the largest data centre facilities in Europe, to be established at Newport has received a significant funding boost.

Next Generation Data Europe, which is behind the project for a 75,000 square metre facility, has secured financial support from Lombard.

The money will help support the investment required for infrastructure equipment to fit out data halls inside the massive building for the company’s first major blue chip customers – which are moving their extensive data operations into NGD Europe from early next year.

The data centre will create 100 jobs.
