£150m Data Centre Approved

Twinwoods Data Centre

Skelton Group Investments has been granted planning permission for a £150m data centre at its Twinwoods Business Park just to the north-east of Bedford. Most famous perhaps for its former airfield being the departure point of Glenn Miller's ill-fated final flight, Twinwoods also hosts a business park that has exceptional power capacity, ideal for data centre facilities, reflecting its MoD research history. The data centre will be developed by TRE Global UK, a subsidiary of a leading US-based data centre company. The centre will directly employ 50 people, with more in support services, and will hopefully attract other high tech businesses to Twinwoods which is home amongst others to a Red Bull Racing Team research centre and the Bodyflight adrenalin leisure facility.
