I am thrilled to be part of it, and am looking forward to strengthening Volta’s position in the data centre sector by further enhancing the services throughout the sales and operating cycles.”

Also joining Volta's sales and marketing team are Yidan Wang Marketing Manager, and Christopher Burroughs as Sales Executive.

Ms Wang brings with her a wealth of experience on both client and agency side, from the data centre sector as well as the architecture and design industries, and is now responsible for all of Volta’s marketing related activities. Prior to joining Volta, Ms Wang worked at International Data Centre Group and IXcellerate Datacentre as Marketing Manager. In addition, she has extensive international experience across Europe, North America and Asia.

Mr Burroughs joins Volta from Belcom247, contributing to Volta his enthusiasm and commitment to existing and future customers.

Our aim is to deliver 100% satisfaction to each requirement throughout the sales and customer relationship lifecycle. Customer Service and attention to detail are critical so I am absolutely delighted to welcome them to the Volta team,” says Colin Woods, Sales Manager of Volta.

Matthew Dent, CEO of Volta, also says: “We have built Central London’s newest data centre facility in Great Sutton Street to the highest standards, and the appointments reflect the growing needs of Volta’s customer base.
