UK gross invoiced income: £2.32bn (+13%)
UK headcount: 4,186
This globe-trotting, Hatfield-based giant prides itself on having “the largest services business of any value-added reseller”, and “the largest value-added reseller capability of any services business”.
Computacenter generated £2.32bn of its £9.05bn calendar 2022 group gross invoiced income from its home market– a 13% rise.
UK GII growth was driven entirely by product resale, which hiked 18% to £1.86bn. In contrast, managed services and professional services GII both fell 5%, to £313m and £148m, respectively.
Computacenter has expressed “dissatisfaction” with the trajectory of its UK arm in 2023, even as it registered “extraordinary growth” across its wider business.
UK GII grew 8.7% to £1.27bn in the first half of the year, meaning the LSE-listed outfit’s domestic arm is now smaller than both Germany (H1 GII up 43% to £1.42bn) and a North American business turbo-charged by the 2018 and 2020 acquisitions of FusionStorm and Pivot (H1 GII up 40% to £1.88bn).
“Our performance in the first half sets us on course for our nineteenth year of uninterrupted full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share growth,” Computacenter CEO Mike Norris said in September.
