A multi million pound investment in Firstnet Datacentres by new Chairman Jason Beresford (pictured) will significantly strengthen the company's local presence in Leeds.
The business was created in September 2017 when Select Data Centres merged with Firstnet and became Firstnet Group, with the reseller division, Firstnet Solutions, going into administration in February this year.
Beresford said: “There will always be a role for local service providers and facilities. The cloud and IT services should not always have to be a faceless entity.
"There is a question of scale and further growth, and I’m confident that Firstnet is already ahead of the curve.”
Firstnet CEO Stephen Leahy added: "Jason coming on board represents a significant step in our strategy of building the largest Data centre service provider in the northern digital market."
