Bulk Infrastructure has appointed Richard Brandon as Chief Development Officer.

With 25 years’ experience in the data centre sector, Brandon has held a number of senior positions on both the operator side and with service providers. He has led data centre development programmes across the UK and Europe for companies including CBRE, Digital Realty and Structure Tone.

Brandon’s most recent role was as Head of Development for CyrusOne Europe, where he led a multi-billion Euro data centre development project.

“We are delighted to welcome Richard to the Bulk team. As a data centre development veteran, his extensive experience of large size hyperscale construction is spot on. With more than 300 MW of new power coming live at our core sites in 2027 and more large scale-locations being developed elsewhere in the Nordics, Richard will lead our build projects to support customers with 100 MW size type of developments,” said Jon Gravråk, CEO at Bulk.

“Bulk offers a unique combination of a scalable platform, strategic pan-Nordic position, solid infrastructure portfolio and industrial competence ready to further cater for the large-scale global demand. Being part of Bulk’s growth journey and contributing to their future success was a key motivation factor,” added Brandon.

Bulk operates a number of data centre campuses across Europe, including the N01 Data Centre Campus in Kristiansand in the south of Norway, where the company has secured 400 MW with potential up to 1 GW.
