About Stretford 1 Data Center

The Stretford 1 Data Center, also known as ANS / MANOC 4, is located at 1-3 Ball Green, Trafford, Stretford, Greater Manchester, UK. Operated by ANS Group Limited (formerly UKFast’s data center arm), it forms part of ANS’s Manchester region data center portfolio. Positioned in the Greater Manchester metro area, Stretford 1 offers proximity to major transport links (M60 Motorway, Manchester city center), and access to a regional connectivity ecosystem. As a carrier-neutral facility, it complements ANS’s interconnected UK infrastructure.
