21 May 2025: Leading UPS manufacturer CENTIEL has won the Data Centre Power Project
Award at the DCR Excellence Awards for an installation completed with Holborn Projects for
the live UPS product lifecycle replacement at West Midlands Ambulance Service Emergency
Operations Centre. Centiel and Holborn Projects’ teams accepted the award at a ceremony
held to recognise the outstanding achievements within the data centre industry at OXO2,
South Bank on 14 May 2025.
Aaron Oddy, Sales Manager at Centiel, confirmed: “In 2024, Centiel completed an installation
with Holborn Projects for a live UPS product lifecycle replacement and upgrade for WMAS’
Emergency Operations Centre, which receives hundreds of emergency calls per hour to
deploy ambulances to a population of 5.6 million people.
“We are thrilled that the combined efforts of Centiel and Holborn Projects’ teams have been
recognised in this way and the project has been named as the Data Centre Power Project of
the Year.”
Nick Scragg, MD of Holborn Projects, said: “We have specified Centiel UPS systems regularly
for fixed installations, recognising their ease of use, genuine modular resilience and
unrivalled reliability, all important factors in a critical project.
“Their hire option gives us this functionality in a fully equipped container. Once on site, input
and output power-lock connectors ensure the UPS can be online in less than two hours, with
the intuitive SNMP interface making remote comms also quick to initiate.
“We undertook detailed surveys and specified a fully detailed switching programme before
executing this transfer from existing system to temporary and back, with no break in the
EOC’s critical operations. We are delighted now to win this award for our work with Centiel
on this important project.”
