A trading update published as this report was going to press underlined just what a bumper 2025 this globe-trotting, LSE-listed reseller and services firm enjoyed.
Unfortunately, we’ve had to base the profile header on its last filed UK accounts, which cover its slightly off-colour calendar 2024.
Computacenter’s UK arm saw 2024 gross invoiced income roll back 7% to £2.21bn, while North America and Germany’s contribution rose by 9% to £3.81bn and shrank by 5% to £2.66bn, respectively.
Breaking down its UK business by activity, product resell GII fell 9% to £1.76bn, while services revenues rose 3% to £452.8m (within that, professional and managed services were up 19% and down 5%, respectively).
When asked about his five-year ambitions in a recent Schroders podcast, 26-year Computacenter CEO Mike Norris said he’d like it to make the FTSE 100 (he said it’s previously climbed as high as “about 103rd”), “fill out” its US business and bolster its Indian presence.
It ticked two of those three boxes in January 2026 via its $120m acquisition of AgreeYa Solutions, a professional services outfit with 600 staff in the US and 700 in India.
Swift demand from North American enterprise and hyperscale customers helped Computacenter log a 31% 2025 GII surge, its recent trading update revealed.
This means its top line has risen from £4.4bn to £13bn in the space of just seven years, putting it on even terms with US-based peers including CDW, WWT, Insight and SHI.
2025 adjusted pre-tax profits are set to top £270m (comfortably ahead of both market expectations and the previous year’s £254m tally).
Oxygen ice-breaker
North America now generates nearly half of Computacenter’s top and bottom lines.
