Connectus doubles down on Doncaster Airport tech hub with new £500k investment

Connectus has committed another £500,000 to Doncaster Airport Business Park, expanding its digital infrastructure in a move aimed squarely at scaling B2B demand. This builds on a previous £1 million investment and comes as momentum grows around the site’s redevelopment.

The new funding will deliver a second fibre route to improve network resilience and uptime for businesses operating on the 62-acre site. The park, which houses 140 business units and has planning approval for over 186,000 sq m of future commercial space, is being positioned as a regional hub for innovation and high-growth companies.

The investment also supports the rollout of AI-powered diagnostics via Connectus’ partner Kaseya, recruitment of additional engineering staff, and new backup energy solutions to minimise service disruption. Part of the funding is earmarked for local engagement initiatives, including grassroots sports sponsorships.

This development follows the UK government’s recent £30 million pledge to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport, adding strategic significance to the business park’s growth trajectory.
