A future-looking focus As AVK celebrates its 35th anniversary , Ben is focused on leveraging this experience to propel the company forward .
Ben ’ s commitment to legacy , combined with AVK ’ s innovative approach , positions the company well for future growth and challenges .
Looking ahead , Ben anticipates continued growth and innovation for AVK and the wider industry .
“ The data centre market as a whole is ever evolving ,” he says . “ I think even from when I first started , what a data centre looks like has changed , and that ’ s only in a short 12-year span .”
Over the next 12 to 18 months , Ben expects AVK to continue to grow , with more talent joining its ranks . He also expects AVK to have delivered its first major 100MW microgrid as well as 300 engines delivered in standby – a significant jump from the 530 sold in the last five years .
Ben concludes : “ That paints a picture of the growth trajectory that we ’ re on . There are some really big moments coming and a lot of work to do to get there .
“ I don ’ t necessarily believe anyone knows where the market will be in 12 months , but we have set ourselves up to be in the best position and we luckily have great minds in the business that means we normally get it right .
“ I ’ m also looking forward to seeing the first year ’ s cohort of the academy go through and seeing its success .”
