Kent business owners discover a leading Military-Grade Data Centre on their doorstep
Kent, February 11th 2008
The Bunker Secure Hosting Ltd, providers of Ultra* Secure Data Centres and Managed Services tested the knowledge of Kent business owners at the Kent Total Business Show as representatives from The Bunker asked visitors and exhibitors – ‘Did you know you have Europe’s leading data centre and managed service provider on your doorstep?
The Bunker, well known in national and international business circles and historically one of Kent’s best kept secrets, has decided to raise its profile locally as one of the fastest growing SMEs in the region.
Peregrine Newton CEO of The Bunker commented “Our business is all about security and to that end it has more than suited us to historically be Kent’s best kept secret; however, as a growing business playing an ever increasing role in the local economy, we want local businesses to be aware of our services. Obviously protecting our facilities is of the utmost importance to us – unlike our London based adversaries who have never enjoyed the luxury of anonymity – the location of our Ash site, buried in the heart of Kent countryside, has historically helped to protect ours.” Peregrine adds “We won’t be screaming our co-ordinates out but there’s absolutely no harm in Kent businesses knowing we exist and understanding what we do.”
The Bunker intends to continue to actively promote itself and its services in the region over coming months alongside a busy schedule of national marketing activity. Melanie Scott, Marketing Manager at The Bunker comments “The Bunker is keen to assist in the development of Kent industry and KTBS acted as a great platform from which to launch our regional marketing activity. We are looking forward to working on further regional projects over the coming months.”
