Sure complete Foreshore acquisition

Tuesday 22 July 2014


Sure (Jersey) Limited has completed the acquisition of the data centre and cloud services provider Foreshore.

The acquisition gives Sure a data centre in Jersey to complement its own in Guernsey - and a range of innovative cloud services to support customers in the bailiwicks and overseas.

Sure Jersey's CEO Graham Hughes said: “The acquisition of Foreshore is an important element of Sure’s programme of investment in the Channel Islands, which this year will also see Sure investing in a new 4G network. This acquisition is great news for Sure customers and businesses across the Channel Islands as Sure now has data centre capabilities in Jersey , Guernsey and the Isle of Man. Combining these facilities with our local knowledge and international expertise, means that Sure is set to become a leader in offshore data hosting and cloud services.

He thanked Chris Evans, former CEO and co-founder of Foreshore for the incredible work that he and his colleagues have done in building Foreshore into a leading data centre and cloud services provider that is recognised not only in Jersey but also internationally, as a key supplier to the international finance industry.

"Foreshore is a Jersey success story and everyone at Sure is excited about the prospect of building on that success to take the business even further We now begin the task of integrating Foreshore fully into Sure and we will work with all existing clients to advise them of the change of ownership and to confirm that Foreshore will continue to operate the same services to the high standards that they have come to expect," he added.
