Computacenter plc ("Computacenter" or the "Company"), a leading independent technology and services provider, is pleased to announce the appointment of Keith Mortimer as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of the Company with effect from 1 September 2025 (the "Appointment Date"). His appointment follows a comprehensive search and selection process that considered both internal and external candidates.

Prior to joining Computacenter, Keith trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Arthur Andersen in London. He has a first-class bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Exeter.
Mike Norris, Chief Executive Officer of Computacenter, commented:
"I look forward to working even more closely with Keith, as he takes up the position of Chief Financial Officer. His detailed knowledge of the business from end to end will be invaluable in helping us achieve our growth ambitions for the business, particularly as we continue to make significant investment in our systems, tools and processes to enhance both our operating efficiency and the customer experience".
