•He previously served as executive vice-president, bringing over two decades of industry experience to the role.

•The reshuffle positions Telehouse to execute its £275 million London Docklands campus expansion programme.


The fact

Telehouse Europe has appointed Mark Pestridge as managing director in a leadership reshuffle focused on customer experience and sustainable growth. He previously served as executive vice-president and general manager, with over 20 years of industry experience. Paul Lewis succeeds him in that role, overseeing operations, strategy, construction and design. The changes coincide with expansion at the London Docklands campus, including the planned £275 million Telehouse West Two development.

The Assessment

The move keeps leadership within existing senior executives closely tied to core infrastructure delivery. It signals continuity in strategy, with emphasis on scaling capacity and improving customer experience rather than shifting direction. The structure also supports execution of major London Docklands expansion projects already underway.

What to watch

Progress on Telehouse West Two delivery and whether leadership changes accelerate European capacity expansion.
