Computacenter saw its UK bottom line tighten up in Q3 with revenue up eight percent year on year to £33 5million.
Overall the group saw revenue jump 27 percent to £931 million with Germany once again the standout performer.
Revenue in the German business was up 26 percent to £453 million, while France’s sales pogoed 34 percent to £127 million.
Of the UK business, Computacenter said: “Whilst the UK is growing slightly slower than the group , the results in the third quarter clearly demonstrate an improved performance.”
Computacenter announced that the momentum it experienced across the group, particularly in Germany, in the first half of the year has been maintained if not improved during the third quarter of 2017.
“Whilst the fourth quarter is our most difficult comparison to 2016 of any quarter in the year, we remain on track for a record performance. New technologies, digitalisation and our customers’ appetite to invest is as buoyant as we can remember, which is obviously driving our professional services and supply chain services.”
The company warned that its target market’s desire to reduce operating costs, and therefore the cost of running their IT, has intensified which is eroding its contractual services base, thus increasing the need to invest in productivity and innovation to remain competitive. Whatever that means.
