Our Corporate Finance team advises Future-tech on its sale to Nscale

Our Corporate Finance team advised Future-tech, a leading European data centre engineering consultancy, on its sale to Nscale. The transaction was led by Jack Griggs and supported by Rebecca Bodger.

Future-tech is widely recognised for its advanced technical data centre design, construction and operational capabilities. The company excels at translating complex infrastructure requirements into secure, high-performance environments.

Nscale is a global hyperscaler that recently closed a record-breaking $1.1billion Series B funding round: the largest in European history. The company delivers secure and resilient AI infrastructure through a vertically integrated model and develops greenfield data centres across Europe and North America to power efficient, scalable AI workloads.

The integration of Future-tech’s expertise will enable Nscale to accelerate global delivery across the entire lifecycle: from early design and planning through to rollout, at a time when demand for AI infrastructure is surging worldwide. Future-tech brings deep industry experience and a highly skilled team of around 60 specialists spanning design, engineering, consultancy, project delivery and technical operations.

James Wilman, CEO of Future-tech, commented: “Joining Nscale is a natural next step for Future-tech. We see firsthand how fast AI is changing the requirements for data centres, and Nscale is one of the companies truly out in front of that wave. It’s an exciting time to be part of a business making major moves in AI infrastructure globally. By combining our specialist engineering and delivery capability with Nscale’s scale and ambition, we can do even more for our shared customers in the years ahead.”

Wilman added: “We are grateful for the support and guidance provided by Jack Griggs and Rebecca Bodger from JCK. Their steadfast commitment, sharp commercial perspective, and deep sector expertise gave us clarity and confidence throughout the process, enabling us to navigate complex challenges and achieve a successful outcome for all parties.”

Jack Griggs, Director at James Cowper Kreston Corporate Finance, commented: “We are pleased to have supported Future-tech’s shareholders in their sale to Nscale. With Future-tech’s engineering pedigree joining Nscale’s vertically integrated platform, the combined organisation is well placed to deliver at speed across the AI infrastructure lifecycle and meet the growing global demand for advanced, AI-ready data-centre solutions.”
