Additionally, Rob Coupland’s proven track-record of industry achievements means that he was a stand-out choice for the European CxO Award in what was a strong field of contenders. He has played a key role in designing and delivering a significant expansion programme across Europe which will increase TelecityGroup’s customer power to 124MW over the next four years, in addition to demonstrating the data centre industry’s critical role in mitigating carbon use by driving best practices in energy efficiency.”

Michael Tobin, CEO of TelecityGroup said: “We are delighted to win the prestigious European Award for Colocation – it is recognition for the quality of service we provide and the on-going hard work of everyone at TelecityGroup. Rob Coupland’s award is also extremely well deserved; he has played a critical role for the company ensuring operational excellence and environmental best practice is delivered across the business and, in particular, has been instrumental in the overall management and delivery of our European expansion programme. This achievement demonstrates continued recognition of the strength of TelecityGroup’s industry-leading management team, and follows on from the recent awards won by our Group Finance Director Brian McArthur-Muscroft and Group Financial Controller Brad Petzer at the FD Excellence Awards, and Maurice Mortell, MD of TelecityGroup Ireland at the ICT Excellence Awards.”
