You joined as CEO last March. Are you happy with what the UK&I business looks like?
We’re striving to distinguish ourselves by developing a comprehensive consultancy and advisory suite of services that go beyond traditional reselling.
I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made since joining, but still not satisfied.
Logicalis UK grew by almost a fifth in your year to 28 February 2024. How has 2025 been?
Different aspects of our business are growing at different levels, which is where the mix of products and services is important. In FY25, we are seeing strong growth in our product business year-on-year, with services being flat, as customer projects shift right.
We have also been through a significant amount of change, reigniting the ambition of the business and our focus, whilst recognising the incredible capability we deliver to our customers. FY26 is going to be an exciting year as we continue to grow.
In October, Logicalis said it wants to be “the sustainable IT partner of choice in the UK and Ireland”. What do you need to change to achieve this?
There are two aspects to this. One is ensuring we lead by example by reducing our own emissions using science-based targets to achieve the commitments we’ve made.
Internally, we’ve implemented comprehensive measures to drive sustainability; the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated our targets for reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.
We have achieved a 27% reduction in the Group’s Scope 1 emissions and we’re continuing to seek further reductions. We introduced a Sustainable Travel Policy and Environmental Policy to minimise our carbon footprint and finally, all our employees undergo mandatory ESG educational training to ensure company-wide commitment.
Two is how we leverage this expertise to benefit our customers and help them embed sustainability principles into the projects we architect and deliver for them. An example of how we’ve achieved this includes Noble Foods, where we have successfully contributed to significant energy reductions, cost savings, and CO2 emissions cuts.
