Computacenter sees revenues fall

Despite improvements to its supply chain, Computacenter says revenues for its UK arm declined amid reduced demand.

The reseller has released its interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2022 in its latest trading update.

While the business as a whole saw its revenue increase 16.6 percent year over year to £2.84 billion, there were drops in performance from the UK side.

Revenue in the UK business decreased by 7.1 percent to £653.8 million, with the technology sourcing business seeing a 10.5 percent reduction in revenue.

Computacenter said this was largely down to reduced demand for workplace rollouts which also affected technology rollouts in professional services, where revenues were down by 3.3 percent.

The company said: “Demand from public sector customers is not as buoyant as during the pandemic, and is unlikely to reach those levels again in the near-term, we are confident that spending remains at normal pre-pandemic levels.”
