Say Communications today announces that it has been appointed by The Bunker, the leading provider of secure managed hosting and data centre solutions, to launch and drive PR campaigns to raise awareness of its services among stakeholders.

The Bunker has been protecting businesses from physical, human and digital factors that can compromise the availability of business-critical applications for more than 10 years at its secure data centres located within purpose built armoured nuclear bomb proof military specified fortresses sited in Sandwich, Kent and Newbury, Berkshire. Both sites are former nuclear command and control centres within easy reach of London, but outside the high-risk M25 area. Security is in The Bunker’s DNA - its Director of Security is Ben Laurie, the creator of Apache-SSL – the web’s de-facto secure web-server application. The Bunker is ISO 27001 accredited and is a Microsoft Gold Partner. The Bunker uses Open Source software where appropriate as it offers great benefits in security, stability and cost effectiveness.

“We’re delighted to be partnering The Bunker,” says joint Managing Director, Louise Stewart-Muir, Say Communications. “It is an excellent addition to the Say.Technology practice. Data has increasingly become a valuable currency in the digital world and needs to be protected from both cyber and real-life attack. The Bunker offers world-class security, bespoke solutions and the scalability that companies both large and small demand for their precious data. We look forward to helping communicate its compelling offering.”

Peregrine Newton, Joint Chairman and CEO, The Bunker said, “Say have a great understanding of The Bunker’s core values – security, integrity, availability and the ability to offer completely bespoke solutions. We are very confident that the Say team will utilise their relationships within the UK media and analyst communities to reach influencers with the key messages that will in turn raise awareness of The Bunker among our target audiences.”
