Get involved
All techUK's work is led by our members - keep in touch or get involved by joining one of the groups below
Data Centres Council
The UK Council of Data Centre Operators comprises twenty senior business leaders who represent the full spectrum of interests and operational models across the data centre sector – from wholesale colocation to cloud infrastructure. The Council is a decision-making body providing strategic direction for all our activity relating to data centres. Formal Terms of Reference provide governance for the group.
Data Centres ESG+ Group
The Data Centres ESG+ Group focuses on ESG and sustainability-related issues and trends that are relevant to data centre providers and organisations in their supply chains.
Data Centre Skills Group
UK operators struggle with both short-term and long-term skills shortages and the objectives of this group are to demonstrate that the data centre sector is a career destination of choice, facilitate professional development within the sector (in conjunction with the IET), tackle some of the policy and organisational barriers that are restricting the skills pipeline, and provide a forum for information exchange.
Data Centres Policy Working Group
The Data Centres Policy Working Group keeps members informed on key policy updates, regulatory developments, and industry best practices.
