The award organisers said: “We are not just looking for those who bring in the most cash, but the businesses that have the most original ideas and make a true difference. We want to find the beacons of enterprising Britain, the small firms that thrive despite the gloomy economy, be it a brilliant social enterprise, an inspiring young tech start-up or a small manufacturer.”
Commenting on its inclusion in the Smarta 100, 4D Data Centres’ managing director Jack Bedell-Pearce said: “It’s great to be recognised for our achievement as a British IT business that’s growing fast and investing in cutting-edge green initiatives. The result is very much down to the hard work of the team in our data centres in Surrey, London and Kent; this award is for them.”
He adds, “If we go on to win Business of the Year, this will really help to give us a leg up in what is a highly competitive market place. Colocation and connectivity services are fast becoming a utility for modern businesses. We’re keen to tell more companies that 4D offers a greener, more cost-effective alternative.”
