Computacenter on track despite slow Q2

Computacenter said it has not been able to sustain its strong start to the year with sales waning but maintains it will still hit its original forecasts for the year.

In a trading statement, the Hatfield computer services group said in common with much of the industry its second quarter has slowed.

However, analysts are predicting Computacenter will achieve pre-tax profit of £33m in the first half of the year with final second quarter results due on 15 August and maintain it is still on track to hit £72m by the end of the financial year.

Computacenter designs and supports IT systems for many large companies across Europe and has recently added new contracts including PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Inland Revenue and BP Amoco.
