Transforming Sumitomo Corporation Europe Limited’s London Trading Floor

As the chosen data cabling partner for Sumitomo Corporation Europe Limited’s London office refurbishment, ACCL was tasked, in partnership with Leviton and Edmundson Electrical Datatech,  with delivering a resilient, sustainable, and future-ready network infrastructure that would not disrupt operations for over 60 live traders.

Sumitomo Corporation Europe Limited

Contractor: DMG

Partnerships: Levition and Edmundson Electrical Datatech

Project type: IT Infrastucture and Fibre network

Background:

Sumitomo Corporation Europe Limited aimed to reimagine their London trading floor to enhance collaboration, embed sustainability, and support future digital requirements. The project called for a workspace that blended modern design with operational continuity—ensuring that business stayed uninterrupted during all phases of construction and network upgrades. Design & Build Fit-Out Contractor DMG Workplace selected ACCL as the trusted installation partner, to implement a high-performance, sustainable network solution in this live, complex environment.

Project Challenges

Delivering this upgrade presented several challenges:

  • Maintaining 24/7 operational continuity for a busy trading floor throughout installation, with no room for connectivity or compliance errors.
  • Integrating dense, high-specification cabling for 10GbE, PoE, and fibre connectivity, all within strict space, fire safety (CPR Cca), and aesthetic requirements.
  • Navigating limited riser capacity, legacy pathway constraints, and tight work schedules that demanded rapid, low-impact installation.
  • Championing sustainability at every stage to achieve SKA Gold Certification, covering everything from emissions-tracked deliveries to reuse of materials and waste minimisation.
