The rebrand signals Kent’s strategic expansion into the rapidly growing data centre sector — uniting two leaders under one global brand to deliver smarter, stronger, and more sustainable digital infrastructure for the world’s evolving technology landscape. ###### **A Unified Force for Digital Transformation** Since joining Kent earlier this year, Sudlows Consulting has become a cornerstone of Kent’s technology and power portfolio. With over 400 specialists, the team brings decades of expertise in mission-critical design, technical advisory, and commissioning management for hyperscale, colocation, and edge facilities. Rebranded as Kent Data Centres, the business will build on its established reputation to help clients meet the growing global demand for digital infrastructure that is resilient, efficient, and ready for what’s next. “This rebrand marks a pivotal step in Kent’s journey to shape the future of digital infrastructure,” said John Gilley, CEO of Kent. “Kent Data Centres represents the fusion of deep technical expertise and global delivery capability, enabling us to help clients build data centres that are powerful, efficient, and designed with sustainability at their core. This is about powering the world’s digital transformation responsibly.” ###### **Engineering the Digital Backbone** John Rippingale, CEO of Kent Data Centres, added: “Joining the Kent family is the natural next step in our evolution. By combining our specialist knowledge in data centres with Kent’s global reach and multidisciplinary strength, we can offer clients a single, integrated source of certainty, from strategy and design through to commissioning and performance optimisation.” As global data demand surges with the rise of AI, cloud adoption, and digital transformation, Kent Data Centres will play a vital role in enabling the infrastructure behind it. Backed by Kent’s 100-year engineering heritage and presence in over 30 countries, the new business will deliver turnkey expertise across the data centre lifecycle from advisory and design to sustainability optimisation. ###### **Part of Something Bigger** With a workforce of over 13,000 people, Kent brings deep engineering, cross-sector capability to every project. The addition of Kent Data Centres reinforces Kent’s position as a global engineering powerhouse, designing not just for today’s demands, but for the connected, decarbonised world of tomorrow.
