data centre facility. Despite being awarded
‘essential status’ by the government,

Chris Coward, Head of Project Management
for BCS, said: “We are still facing issues
around getting the right number of workers

Lombardy region. We are committed to
getting this project done but our major focus
is on keeping people safe.”
