MAINOVA WEBHOUSE
“ We have an influence obviously in the design , in ensuring that our emergency power generation is as clean as possible ”
JUAN BONO CONSTRUCTION DIRECTOR , MAINOVA WEBHOUSE
“ But I had other dreams . It wasn ’ t just about being an architect … I wanted to build big .”
Mainova WebHouse has already built a relationship where the industry and its customers have come to understand what they can achieve . What the company is now achieving is building an even greater reputation .
Juan turned to civil engineering and moved from Spain to the UK working for a reputable contractor , where he built his first data centre . He also led construction for the Francis Crick Institute , a medical research facility in London .
“ I was in direct communication with the users , with the actual scientists who would be then moving into that facility . They were exciting people to speak to , to understand what their needs were .”
It was the first time Juan understood his customers , their needs and that of the building . This is something Juan has carried with him throughout his career . “ That ’ s one of the things that drives me , when I look at a building or a project , I don ’ t think ‘ Oh it ’ s a nice data centre ’, I think about how they actually brought it to life and the purpose of the users . That ’ s what data centres are – fast paced moving buildings which provide plenty of resilience to a set of customer ’ s requirements .”
Meanwhile , Mainova WebHouse CEO Oliver Schiebel ’ s responsibility is to lead his team , to set out strategies and execute against the global strategy of Mainova WebHouse , which is becoming the most sustainable data centre provider in Frankfurt .
