At Stancold, we’re proud to announce our strategic expansion into the data centre fit-out market, a major step forward in our commitment to excellence and long-term growth.
For over 70 years, we’ve specialised in controlled environment construction for some of the UK’s most critical industries. Over the past two decades, our team has expanded this expertise to deliver increasingly complex projects, including battery manufacturing facilities and builds for the nuclear industry. Our experience and capabilities here make this a natural and exciting progression for the business.
Throughout 2025, we’ve been working hard to build a dedicated team with the expertise, capacity and set-up to deliver large-scale, multimillion-pound data centre projects, bringing together the technical know-how and proven project management strength that are essential for such critical infrastructure builds.
Alongside our growth into this sector, our core operations remain at the heart of what we do. We’ll continue to design and construct controlled environments within food and beverage facilities, pharmaceutical and advanced manufacturing sites, and industrial warehouse developments across the UK, with the same attention to detail, reliability and service that have defined Stancold for generations.
Stancold’s Managing Director, Andy Croxton, shared what this means for the business:
“This move into the data centre sector represents a natural evolution for Stancold. We’ve spent decades perfecting the design and delivery of technically demanding environments where precision and reliability are everything. Now, we’re bringing that same expertise to a market that shares those exact values. It’s an exciting new chapter for our team.”
Sales & Marketing Director, Chris Napier, highlighted the strong market opportunity:
“The data centre sector is growing rapidly across the UK and Europe, driven by the need for secure, scalable digital infrastructure. Clients are looking for delivery partners who can work at pace, to the highest standards and with complete reliability. That’s what we do best. We’re thrilled to be a part of this expanding industry and to support our clients’ ambitions.”
From an operational perspective, Operations Director, Will Pugh, reflected on the strength of the business’ delivery model:
“Our success has always come from ability to deliver complex projects safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standards. Data centre fit-out projects demand that same level of care and discipline, and we’re ready to meet that challenge head-on. This is a fantastic opportunity for our teams to build on what we already do so well.”
Leading this initiative, Mark Kendrick, Business Development Director, added:
“Data centres are, in many ways, an extension of the controlled environments we’ve been delivering for years. The need for robust performance and technical integration makes it a perfect fit for us. We’re bringing trusted experience and a collaborative approach to help clients deliver these critical facilities.”
As we embark on this next phase, we remain committed to delivering technical excellence, integrity and teamwork across all aspects of our work. We’re excited to bring our skills and values into the data centre sector, while continuing to serve our long-standing clients with the same dedication and quality they’ve come to expect.
We look forward to sharing more about our data centre journey as our specialist team continues to grow and deliver new projects across the UK.
