Powering Support for Data Centres

We have extensive experience supporting the development and delivery of data centre infrastructure across the UK. Our team works with developers, operators, and investors to help secure consent, build public and political confidence, and navigate the complex planning, energy, and environmental considerations that data centre projects often face.

Our work spans decisions at all levels. We understand the scrutiny data centres can attract, particularly around energy use, grid capacity, carbon impact, water consumption, and local benefit and we are experienced in developing proactive communications strategies that address concern, manage misinformation, and enable constructive engagement.

Our support includes:

• Strategic stakeholder and community engagement

• Statutory and non-statutory consultation delivery

• Tailored communications strategies to pre-empt local opposition

• Craft and own narrative by simplifying technical detail

• Public affairs strategies to influence data centre policy

• Gold standard public consultations to secure consent

• Thought leadership and campaigns to tackle misinformation

• Media relations support

• Social value strategy and delivery

Whether the proposal is for a hyperscale facility requiring significant grid reinforcement or an edge data centre in a constrained urban location, our team brings the expertise and credibility needed to engage stakeholders, respond to technical and environmental concerns, and build support for critical digital infrastructure that underpins the UK’s digital economy and net-zero ambitions.
