Luke joins the Teledata team from Cheadle-based tech business San-iT where he worked as a Managed Service Engineer.
Teledata, which is based close to Airport City in Wythenshawe, was recently acquired by Farnborough-based data centre provider, Datum Datacentres. This was the first regional bolt-on acquisition made as part of the firm’s regional expansion strategy. Datum was acquired by Funds managed by the UBS Asset Management (UBS-AM) Real Estate & Private Markets business (REPM) in September 2021 with the intention to expand into key regional markets.
Commenting on his role with Teledata, Luke said: “Managing servers and high level networking is the area of IT which interests me the most, so i’m excited to be moving to a data centre-based role and gaining high level networking experience to really grow my skill set.”
Matt Edgley, Director for Teledata added: “We’re delighted to welcome Luke to the team. Our recent growth and subsequent acquisition make this an exciting time to be joining the business and we’re looking forward to working with Luke and seeing his career develop as part of the Datum Group.”
