Driving Digital Growth in the North: How nLighten’s nConnect and Regional Data Centres Are Powering the Future

Powering the Future

At nLighten, we believe digital transformation should be local, sustainable, and connected. That’s why our nConnect solution is redefining how businesses across the UK – and especially in the North – access and benefit from digital infrastructure.

🔗 What is nConnect?
nConnect is our unique interconnection service designed to simplify and supercharge connectivity between enterprises, partners, and carriers. It provides high-performance, secure, and low-latency links between customers hosted in any of our data centres, giving businesses access to a robust digital ecosystem without the complexity or high cost typically associated with traditional network solutions.

Whether you're a retailer, SaaS provider, or growing tech business, nConnect offers flexible, scalable options to meet your bandwidth and latency needs – with the ability to link to key partners, clouds, or other data centre locations across the nLighten platform.

🌍 Supporting the Northern Powerhouse
nLighten is proud to be playing a key role in the Northern Powerhouse vision – helping regional economies thrive through smarter infrastructure and greater digital inclusion. Our data centres in Liverpool, Chester, and Leeds are central to this mission.

  • In Liverpool, our facility supports the city’s fast-growing creative and digital industries with reliable, low-latency colocation.

  • In Chester, we’re empowering hybrid-working businesses and regional HQs with secure connectivity closer to their user base.

  • In Leeds, one of the UK’s leading tech cities, our edge data centre provides the backbone for innovation across fintech, healthtech, and beyond.

Together, these sites form a regional network that puts power back in the hands of local businesses – reducing the need to rely on far-away data centres in London or the South.

🚀 What This Means for Manchester & the Wider Region
As a part of the Manchester Digital community, nLighten is committed to supporting the North’s growing reputation as a centre for tech innovation. By enabling fast, flexible connections across regional hubs, nConnect and our Northern data centres make it easier for organisations to scale, innovate, and collaborate – while meeting sustainability and data sovereignty requirements.

We’re not just building data centres – we’re building a connected future for the North.
