The recent expansion signifies a major step forward in the Data Centre industry.
Black & White Engineering’s recent expansion to Paris signifies a major step forward in the Data Centre industry. This move showcases our dedication to strategic growth and delivering excellence. Established officially in September 2020, the Paris office is now firmly entrenched in the Western European market, focusing on business development in France and French-speaking regions while supporting new regional projects.
Opportunities
Black & White Engineering SAS, our Paris stronghold, strategically positions itself within the business landscape of the French capital. Stemming from our UK presence, this expansion has led to six Data Centre projects in the Paris region and nurtured partnerships with local engineering companies in France.
Broadening partnerships and reinforcing existing relationships are pivotal for our agility and design reputation. This initiative opens doors for engaging new clients seeking innovative Data Centre solutions. Our commitment to international development underscores our alignment with local culture and regulations, allowing us to tap into the rapidly increasing local market.
Team and Operations
Combining local insights with global expertise, Black & White Paris focuses on daily operational support, business development, networking, and service delivery. Participation in industry events and networking engagements amplifies our presence. Meanwhile, legal processes and local service contracts streamline our operations.
Future plans involve recruiting a Project Manager/Project Director to bolster operations and support the UK team. Leveraging local partnerships remains crucial in delivering tailored engineering solutions meeting market needs.
Future Plans
With support from leadership and global teams, the Paris office has achieved significant milestones. Plans include securing a strategic co-working space and recruiting project management and MEP Engineer roles by 2024. Our presence in France also paves the way for potential expansion into other European countries and Africa.
Black & White’s expansion into Paris highlights our strategic planning and commitment to client success. This milestone marks the beginning of our journey to expand, achieve project management independence in France, discover new clients, and explore the vibrant French and European markets.
Our new office in Frankfurt is the result of our continued expansion and future growth strategies within Germany and the rest of Europe.
We extend our gratitude to our clients, partners, and colleagues, as we announce the opening of our new Black & White office in the West End area of Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
The data centre markets in both Frankfurt and Berlin have seen significant growth for Black & White in the past few years, and our data centre business continues to go from strength to strength in the region. To enable us to continue supporting our clients and partners in Germany even more effectively, our new office in Frankfurt will assist in our continued expansion and future growth strategies.
Steven Horn, Director, UK/Europe, stated:
“Thanks to the continued support of our clients, partners, and Black & White one global team, the data centre sector in Germany continues to be one of our largest markets so strategically, it made perfect sense for us to open our first office in Germany in Frankfurt. The aim is to continue to grow the Black & White business in country and further enhance our offering and service to our clients and partners.”
Charlie Bater, Director, Data Centres, added:
“With Germany soon becoming the first European country with two major data centre regions, Frankfurt and Berlin continue to be key markets for Black & White with projects under construction and on Black & White’s drawing board approaching a total planned capacity of 1GWIT. Our clients and partners have been instrumental in this success over the last few years and our new office location in Frankfurt enables us to be closer to them, the projects we’re delivering and allows us to continue to support the large demand for data centre capacity in Germany.”
As we expand our global presence, this strategic move underscores our commitment to delivering innovative engineering solutions and advancing meaningful collaborations in the heart of Europe. We look forward to forging new partnerships and contributing to the region’s built environment.
