September saw LEUK Teleport & Data Centre welcome our valued customers and partners in celebration of our facility’s 50th anniversary, our change of name from Signalhorn to LEUK and the first phase completion of our ambitious solar project.

 

The event was split over two days, one for Satellite and the other for Data Centre customers. On both days CEO John Harris was in action leading the tours which took our guests through tunnels, nuclear bunkers, misty hillsides and under the shadow of our 32-metre antenna freshly clad in solar panels.
