Tech services provider Fasthosts takes space at £ 107m Gloucester site
The Forum in Gloucester has confirmed Fasthosts Internet as the first business tenant to take up office space . The deal will see the international Internet service and hosting provider move 250 employees into the £ 107 million development later this year .
Fasthosts was founded in Gloucester in 1998 , before achieving international success and being acquired by German-based IONOS in 2006 .
At the heart of the regeneration of Gloucester city centre , The Forum is a mixed-use development brought forward by Gloucester City Council in partnership with Reef Group .
Fasthosts CEO , Simon Yeoman , said : “ At Fasthosts , our growth has driven us to outgrow our current office spaces , resulting in teams spread across two locations . This move to The Forum allows us to bring everyone together in one central , modern office .
“ This move will allow us to create a modern and contemporary environment for our staff and guarantees a space that fits the future needs of a hi-tech business like Fasthosts .”
Fasthosts , which provides data centre services for businesses , including web hosting and other online projects , has experienced significant growth . Earlier this year , the company migrated its primary data centre to Worcestershire to better manage its environmental footprint , with the facility now operating using 100 % renewable energy .
