                         TRADING UPDATE
  

Computacenter will today be holding a briefing for analysts to update them on
its trading performance prior to entering the closed period.  The Group will
announce its preliminary results for the year ending 31 December 2000 on 14
March of this year.

The second half of the year saw a progressive improvement in market conditions. 
The Group continued to experience some post-millennium effect in the third
quarter, but the fourth quarter saw satisfactory trading with continued revenue
growth in Unix and Networking systems, Managed Services and improved
Professional Services utilisation.  The Group also secured some very significant
Windows 2000 projects.  Overall performance in the second half was as
anticipated and the likely outcome for the full year remains in line with our
expectations.

It is very early to comment on prospects for 2001.   It is prudent to remain
cautious on both general market conditions and the possibility of increasing
margin pressure.  However the Group enjoys a strong competitive position, which
has been particularly beneficial during the recent challenging market conditions
and management is confident of the soundness of the Group's overall strategic
direction.  We believe that the growth prospects for the Group, now the
post-millennium period is behind us, are positive.
