Sudlows

Consulting : the top-tier ` data centre experts
niche design and build company working primarily in critical infrastructure that , John explains , “ predominantly designs and builds data centre facilities that go up to about 10 MW of IT Load .” Just as the data centre industry has radically evolved over the past five years , Sudlows too is growing in the direction of the highest demand . Over the past few years , John explains , that demand has pulled the company inexorably in the direction of MEA and APAC .
Rippingale joined the company in late 2014 to take a leading role in setting up Sudlows ’ first international office in Dubai . Roughly two years later , growing demand from Sudlows ’ clients in the UK prompted the company to expand still further into India , where the number of hyperscale projects was just beginning to explode . Now , in 2021 , Sudlows Consulting is looking
further east . “ After the success of our India office , the progression into the rest of APAC was quite a natural one . We were looking to expand further into central APAC , and Singapore was an obvious choice for our next office ,” John explains , adding that “ A lot of the organisations we work for in India have their head offices in Singapore .” While restrictions on new data centre builds remain in place throughout Singapore , Sudlows Consultings ’ new office will , John continues , be a staging ground for further growth throughout Central and Southeast Asia . “ We ' re looking beyond Singapore into some of the surrounding markets where there ' s absolutely massive growth in demand for digital services and infrastructure - not to mention all the hyperscalers setting up new cloud regions .”
