Pre-Close Trading Update

Computacenter plc, the IT infrastructure services provider, is today holding
presentations on its business for investors and analysts at its office in
London. Mike Norris, Chief Executive, will comment on trading in the half-year
ended 30 June 2004 and the outlook for the Company. The following information
will be released at the meeting:

'Computacenter's drive into Managed Services has continued to progress well. Our
focus on offering a range of infrastructure services that complement our
customers' in-house IT departments has proved attractive to the market and
enabled us to grow Managed Services revenues in H1 2004.

In the UK, we have delivered a record number of PCs in H1 2004, helped by
Microsoft XP deployments. However, due to continuing PC price erosion, our
overall product revenue will be marginally lower than in H1 2003.

Overall, we are satisfied with our progress in Germany where the market remains
subdued. In France, we are making gradual progress and expect an improved
operating performance in 2004.

So far, the markets in which we operate have shown little improvement. However,
due to our performance in Managed Services, the outlook for the full year
remains broadly in line with our expectations at the start of the year.'

Computacenter will report its interim results on Tuesday, 7 September 2004.
