About the Episode
Once considered a niche corner of real estate, data centres have rapidly emerged as a tier one asset class: now, officially recognised as critical national infrastructure in the UK. With more than 45,000 jobs created and £4 billion in revenue generated, the sector’s growth is nothing short of remarkable.
But behind the numbers lies a pressing question: where will the talent come from?
In the second episode of Macroscope, Luke Mariosa, Head of Data Centres for UK and Europe, and Alex Moore, who leads Real Estate Services, examine the widening talent gap in this high growth sector. Drawing on their experience in real estate recruitment, they explore the structural challenges facing employers – from the scarcity of experienced professionals to the growing importance of ESG and sustainability credentials.
