Such a move will also ensure that AVK customers will have faster support and improved operational efficiencies moving forward. 

Lynsey explains: “Setting up these strategic service hubs will help us enormously with our supply chains, our relationships with clients and our field delivery. 

“Instead of locally-based staff relying on our service infrastructure in the UK, having a European infrastructure will make a massive difference to how we support the increasing numbers of customers setting up new data centres across the continent.”

A forward-thinking approach to data centre development

The Netherlands hub will consist of warehousing, critical spares and administrative offices, which are already being recruited for, including the critical role of a European Service Manager.

Additionally, plans are in place for AVK to continue expanding its European presence further, with the next new hub already scheduled to be set up in Frankfurt, Germany. 

There is also an existing service office in Dublin, Ireland, with others expected to follow, the company says.
