"This is an important step forward in our ambition to develop an environmentally sustainable data centre and technology services business in the North East. Not only will this be an important source of quality jobs for the area, but demonstrates that the tech sector isn’t just a phenomenon for the South of England."

Anne Stokes, CEO of St2Group

"The technology sector is a major source of economic growth for the UK for the 21st century and Redcar and the North East is perfectly positioned for inward investment. The region has a strong workforce, available land for regeneration, and supportive local infrastructure that is attractive for innovative businesses."

Lucy Horner Managing Director of GDL

"Our planned development here in Redcar is part of a 20-year investment that will create long-term skilled employment. Data centres have become an essential part of the country’s critical economic infrastructure so we will also be supporting a wide range of businesses and encouraging them to either set up shop or grow their existing activities in the North East. I am committed to the North East and excited for the future."

Anne Stokes, CEO of St2Group

"GDL a North Yorkshire boutique corporate finance and advisory company is working with a London based special opportunities fund in the capital raise and financing of the project. We welcome the project and the significant planned investment and see this as a big vote of confidence in the local community."
