GeN+1

How was your October? Did it go by in the blink of an eye like ours? Last month was jam-packed with excellent events, educational site visits, and pioneering podcasts. Time to take a look back at our monthly best moments… We had quite a few new joiners, so October saw us showing them around one of our impressive sites in Ireland. Not only this, but our Irish sites also benefitted from awareness sessions on Electrical and Mechanical Safe Systems of Work, hosted by yours truly. So important to prioritise safety during our day-to-day work! October was home to some of the best events: 📆 GeN+1’s annual Halloween party (we heard it was the place to be on 30th…) 📆 Inside Data Centre Podcast’s first ever Pubcast with Andy Davis and Rory Flashman-Wells (starring our very own COO, Paul Hood!) 📆 AVK’s Menopause event with Forum for Women in Data Centres and Over The Bloody Moon, which was a raging success. This industry is always fast paced. It’s impressive how much we seem to fit into a month! As always, bring on the next one 💥 #AVK #PoweredByPeople #MonthlyRoundUp #InnovativePowerSolutions

We’re thrilled to be supporting the Legrand Data Center Solutions team as they sponsor this month’s GeN+1 Run Club in London on the 18th of November! 🏃♀️💨 In an industry that’s often misunderstood, it’s so important to open up conversations about data centres, and communities like Gen+1 are doing an incredible job breaking down barriers and making the sector more accessible to all. The event kicks off from the LDCS office with a 3km walk, 5km or 10km run options, plus refreshments before and after. A few of our team will be there alongside LDCS, and we’re really looking forward to connecting with everyone on the day! Please RSPV to [email protected] to secure your space! #Genplus1 #RunClub #DataCentres #Networking #legrand #LDCS Kate Aldridge ACIM, Joshua N., Jack Nicholls, Matt de Frece
