ICM doubles its City of London business recovery capacity

ICM Computer Group plc has announced that it is to double its City of London business recovery capacity by expanding its Wapping site. ICM says this is as a direct consequence of customer demand.

The site will be increased from 250 to 500 recovery positions and will be fitted out to include additional high availability and data hosting capabilities. ICM has acquired the lease of an adjacent building which, following a specialised fit-out, is expected to be operational in phases over the next six months.

ICM has ten Alternative Workplace and Data Hosting centres together with UK-wide mobile and relocatable business continuity services across England. Within the portfolio ICM now has 1,000 recovery positions serving inner and outer London.

Barry Roberts, ICM Chief Executive, commented: “Doubling our capacity in the City extends ICM's inner-outer London continuity strategy. It teams our recovery facilities in Wapping with recovery centres in Sevenoaks and High Wycombe, to provide a multi-site recovery capability to inner London customers.

“Our business continuity division grew organically by 27 percent in the first half of the current financial year. This reflects the continued and rapid growth in the contracted base as well as the increasing awareness of our business continuity services.”
