Computacenter – “2009 is going to be tough”

You may be interested in this from my friend George O'Connor's (Panmure Gordon) morning email.

Computacenter CEO Mike Norris was in morose form as he addressed the inaugural CRN Reseller Leadership Forum event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire. Mr Norris stated that “2009 is going to be tough. I think 2008 is a good year. I am expecting it to get worse in 2009, particularly for the IT market. I hope I'm wrong. We at Computacenter continually try and drive costs out of the business, and I am expecting our headcount to reduce."
