“ Even if we ' re not the lead consultant on a project , there are still lots of different stages where we can get involved and help support the client ”
JOHN RIPPINGALE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MEA & APAC , SUDLOWS CONSULTING
India : Building with the boom Nowhere is the tremendous growth that Rippingale describes more apparent than in India , where Sudlows Consulting has been active for several years now . It was in 2017 , John recalls , that the Middle East operations he had spent two years working hard to build “ really started to take off .”
“ We got invited to more projects , started to win more bids , and forged some strong alliances with contractors and clients in the market ,” he says . “ Around that time , our UK office did some work with a global developer whose Indian team really liked what we did . They asked if we could come over and do some peer review work for them on a big project out there .” Rippingale took on the account , met with the company ’ s CEO and Indian team , and “ what started off as a small peer review package turned into Sudlows doing the mechanical design , the testing , and commissioning for that project ,” John says . “ They said they really loved what we do , loved our experience and focus on the A-to-Z of data centres , and said they wanted to give us more work if we could make the commitment to opening an office in India .” Fast forward to the end of last year , and Sudlows was working on approximately 250 MW worth of projects
