(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 13-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Savills has strengthened its London-based project management team within the Building & Project Consultancy (BPC) division with the appointment of Marc Edmondson as a director. He joins Savills at their Margaret Street head office in London, bringing over 25 years of experience in the design, construction, and project management of data centres across the UK and EMEA. Marc joins from Rider Levett Bucknall, where he held the position of Partner.

At Savills, Marc will lead the firm’s data centre project management team, collaborating with the company’s broader network of data centre experts across the UK and EMEA. His focus will span the full project lifecycle, from planning to capital advisory, ensuring Savills remains at the forefront of data centre development.

Marc Edmondson commented, “I am excited to join Savills at such a pivotal time for the data centre sector. Currently, 2,870 megawatts of new data centre capacity are under construction in the EMEA region, with almost 64% already pre-let, primarily to cloud providers and increasingly to AI companies. The demand for data centres continues to be driven by the exponential growth in data, coupled with a persistent shortage of capacity for data storage and processing.”

Simon Collett, Executive Director and head of BPC at Savills, added, “We are thrilled to welcome Marc to our team. The data centre market is set for substantial growth, and with Marc’s extensive experience and expertise in this field, we are well-positioned to enhance our ability to support clients and meet their evolving needs in this dynamic sector.”
