TelecityGroup CEO recognised at Data Centres Europe Awards 200816 APRIL 2008: Mike Tobin, CEO of the leading pan-European provider of network independent data centres TelecityGroup, has been named ‘Outstanding Leader in Data Centres’ at the annual Data Centres Europe awards for the second year running. In addition, the Group was runner-up in the ‘Green Award’.
Tobin fought off considerable international competition to win one of the most prestigious categories at the awards, ‘Outstanding Leader in Data Centres’. He was shortlisted by a panel of independent judges who recognised a year in which TelecityGroup delivered significant growth and achieved a successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange.
Mike Tobin, CEO of TelecityGroup, comments: “The last year has been very important for the company as we achieved strong growth and completed an IPO in a difficult market. Winning this award for the second year running is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of everyone at TelecityGroup. Thanks to their ongoing commitment we continue to be the leading European provider of secure, resilient data centre environments for content and bandwidth-intensive customers.”
In addition to winning the ‘Outstanding Leader in Data Centres’ award, TelecityGroup was runner-up in the new ‘Green Award’. This is a special category recognising companies which have taken important steps towards understanding and managing the environmental impact of building and operating data centres. Over the past year, TelecityGroup has initiated a number of programmes to enhance the efficiency of its infrastructure while introducing environmentally responsible management and operational processes into the fabric of the company.
The Data Centres Europe 2008 awards ceremony provides a platform to raise awareness of the importance of the sector in Europe and to facilitate an independent reference point for excellence. The underlying value of the awards is to recognise leadership, innovation and value creation in the data centre and managed services sector.
