Our Slough campus is more than a workplace. It’s a vibrant community where people grow, connect and thrive. Whether you’re just starting out or leading global initiatives, Slough is a place where careers flourish and culture comes to life.
We spoke to a few of our team members to hear what makes Slough data centers so special.
A culture of belonging and support
Julie Barlow - Manager, Operations Support - has been with Equinix for nearly 12 years. Starting out as the only female in the control room, she found not just opportunity but inclusion.
“I was always included and provided with the skills and knowledge to perform my job. The support and respect from all, and the sense of belonging, make Equinix stand out.”
Julie’s journey from administrator to manager reflects a culture rooted in Slough, where people are empowered to grow. Her involvement in the Champions Program and the EMEA-wide Reporting and Analytics Community of Practice shows how we foster cross-functional collaboration and confidence.
Teamwork that transcends roles
Gareth Morgan-Lloyd - Supervisor, Customer Operations - has been part of the Slough data center team for 13 years. He values the open, empathetic culture and the trust placed in employees.
“With multiple departments, there have always been opportunities to explore different avenues. Having a manager who trusts you and working from your own merits make a big difference.”
Gareth’s experience during the Telecity acquisition, when he worked with teams across Europe while based in Slough, highlights how the campus connects people across borders and functions.
Growth that goes beyond titles
Zoe Brooks - Senior Manager, Reporting and Analytics - began her Equinix journey in finance and now leads global analytics.
“Equinix encourages you to bring your true self to work. I’ve had opportunities to expand my skill set and pursue areas outside my comfort zone, thanks to a supportive network.”
Her first day at the Slough data center left a lasting impression. “I was impressed by the diverse workforce. For once, I didn’t feel like I was the only one.” That sense of inclusion and opportunity has stayed with her ever since.
Making an impact
The impact of Equinix in Slough goes beyond the data center walls. From charity padel tennis matches to volunteering, the Slough team is deeply engaged in the local community.
That spirit of camaraderie and giving back is echoed in events like the transformation of Salt Hill Park, where volunteers turned a dull skate and parkour area into a vibrant community space. Equinix teams also rolled up their sleeves at the Jubilee Riverside Centre, restoring boats and beautifying the riverside—and at Herschel Park, where the Women in Operations community tackled brambles and cleaned the pond.
These efforts reflect the same values of fostering belonging, teamwork and growth that define Equinix. In Slough, we make a tangible difference in the lives of those around us.
