In-house training
Indeed , Excool has enjoyed a very successful couple of years in the US , currently working on its fourth major project , stateside . In the UK and Europe , the business is going from strengthto-strength , having worked and continuing to work with big names , such as CyrusOne and Digital Realty . Further growth is on the horizon , with upcoming projects in the Middle East and the Far East , in Malaysia . Depending on where the customer is based , Excool ’ s aftersales team will deal either directly with the client or with certified partners . The business also boasts some phenomenal remote monitoring and engineering capabilities .
Jon goes on to highlight the importance the business places on its people . “ There is nothing more important than making sure we have the right people , we keep them
happy and we keep them motivated in what they do . We have an incredibly successful graduate program . Our team of graduates is phenomenal and we have a fairly high staff retention rate . One thing , however , that has proven challenging is recruiting good quality refrigeration engineers . To address this issue , we have started training engineers ourselves to help develop the skill sets we require .”
Looking to the future , further expansion and Excool Middle East is on the cards , with the aim of establishing an office in Dubai . Jon elaborates : “ I am then going to look at opening an office in Asia Pacific , probably in Singapore . In terms of the Americas , my next aim is to find a local , large-scale assembly facility . I hope we will have offices in both the Middle East and Singapore , alongside a manufacturing and assembly plant in the US in the next three-to-five years . The data center business is phenomenal . It isn ’ t shrinking in any way and it ’ s crucial to keep pace .” ■
