Our Story
Founded to Meet the Demand for Transparent Data Centre Sourcing
Pearl Data Centre Sourcing was established as part of the Pearl Lemon Group to address the increasing demand for independent data centre advisory in the UK. The company was built on the belief that businesses should have access to reliable, unbiased information when sourcing colocation and connectivity solutions, without being influenced by provider affiliations.
What Makes Us Different
Independent, Transparent, and Client-Centric
At Pearl Data Centre Sourcing, we take pride in being fully independent, a key attribute that allows us to offer completely unbiased advice tailored to your business’s unique needs. Unlike many other brokers who may be tied to specific providers, our independence ensures we can prioritise your goals, budget, and performance criteria rather than being influenced by commercial affiliations with any particular data centre operator or network carrier.
Why Our Independence Matters
Independence is the foundation of everything we do. By not being tied to a specific provider, we offer you greater flexibility in choosing from a wide range of data centre operators, network carriers, and colocation solutions. This freedom allows us to:
- Evaluate a broader selection of data centres across different regions, ensuring you find the most suitable infrastructure options that meet both technical and financial needs.
- Offer impartial advice, free from provider incentives or hidden agendas, ensuring the best fit based on your company’s long-term vision and growth trajectory.
Negotiate the best terms for your business, with no provider bias influencing contract conditions or pricing. You get optimal flexibility and the best deal available on the market.
Commitment to Transparency
Our commitment to transparency is a cornerstone of how we operate. We believe that transparency builds trust, fosters strong relationships, and ensures you make well-informed decisions at every stage of the process.
- Clear Pricing: We provide detailed breakdowns of all costs, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, with complete visibility into pricing models, contract terms, and service fees.
- Service-Level Agreements (SLAs): We ensure clarity in SLAs, outlining what you can expect in terms of uptime guarantees, performance metrics, and support. Every agreement is carefully explained, so you’re confident in your choice of data centre provider.
- Contract Terms: All contract conditions and renewal clauses are clearly laid out, helping you understand exit strategies, scalability options, and the long-term value of the contracts we help you negotiate. There are no surprises—just clear, straightforward agreements designed to align with your business goals.
Client-First Approach
At Pearl Data Centre Sourcing, client satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. Our client-first approach means we take the time to understand your unique business needs, technical requirements, and financial objectives before making any recommendations. This dedication to your success ensures that:
- Custom Solutions: We understand that no two businesses are alike. That’s why we work closely with you to develop solutions that meet your specific performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency goals. Whether you’re a small start-up or a large enterprise, we ensure that our recommendations are fit for purpose.
- Long-Term Value: Our focus isn’t just on the short-term win. We are committed to providing solutions that will provide long-term value and support your business as it grows.

MediConnect Health – Manchester
MediConnect Health approached us for guidance on consolidating several ageing server locations into a single, compliant UK facility. Their primary concern was maintaining data sovereignty and ensuring uptime for patient systems. Through our independent review, we sourced a Manchester data centre offering full compliance under NHS Digital and ISO 27001 standards. The migration resulted in 40% better operational efficiency and reduced energy costs. James commented, “Pearl’s impartiality and market knowledge were key to finding a cost-effective, compliant solution.”
Finstra Capital – London
Finstra Capital, a mid-sized investment firm in London, needed to migrate its infrastructure to a secure colocation facility that supported both ISO 27001 and PCI DSS compliance. Their existing provider’s renewal pricing had increased by 35% without clear justification. Pearl Data Centre Sourcing reviewed multiple Tier III London Docklands and Slough facilities, providing side-by-side cost and performance comparisons. We negotiated improved SLAs and achieved a 28% cost reduction with enhanced redundancy and guaranteed uptime. Rachel stated, “Pearl handled every step with accuracy and clarity — we felt genuinely represented, not sold to.”
BrightEdge Communications – Glasgow
BrightEdge, a telecom company expanding across Scotland, required new interconnect agreements between Glasgow and Edinburgh data centres. Their previous vendor relationships were limiting bandwidth options and driving costs up. Pearl Data Centre Sourcing conducted a transparent market comparison across multiple UK carriers and negotiated a 22% reduction in connectivity costs with improved resilience. Sarah shared, “The difference was in Pearl’s independence — every recommendation was backed by verifiable data, not bias.”
