Sudlows Consulting has been rebranded into Kent Data Centres following Kent’s acquisition of the business in February earlier this year.
The move to rebrand Sudlows unites Kent’s existing technology and power capabilities with the specialist data centre expertise it acquired earlier this year, positioning the combined team to deliver design, advisory and commissioning services for hyperscale, colocation and edge facilities.
“This rebrand marks a pivotal step in Kent’s journey to shape the future of digital infrastructure,” said John Gilley, CEO of Kent.
“Kent Data Centres represents the fusion of deep technical expertise and global delivery capability, enabling us to help clients build data centres that are powerful, efficient, and designed with sustainability at their core. This is about powering the world’s digital transformation responsibly.”
Sudlows Consulting, now Kent Data Centres, brings a team of more than 400 specialists with decades of experience in mission-critical projects. Kent said the unit will continue to serve existing markets while expanding under a single global brand, backed by the wider group’s engineering heritage and international footprint.
John Rippingale, CEO of Kent Data Centres, added, “Joining the Kent family is the natural next step in our evolution. By combining our specialist knowledge in data centres with Kent’s global reach and multidisciplinary strength, we can offer clients a single, integrated source of certainty, from strategy and design through to commissioning and performance optimisation.”
The rebrand comes amid rising demand for digital infrastructure driven by AI workloads, cloud adoption and wider digital transformation. Kent noted it will offer lifecycle support from early advisory and design to sustainability optimisation and performance assurance.
Kent employs more than 13,000 people globally and operates across multiple sectors. The company said bringing the data centre business under a unified brand reinforces its ambition to design for current demand while supporting a more connected, lower-carbon system.
