Trading Update

Computacenter PLC
28 June 2005

                                 Trading Update

At the end of the first quarter Computacenter reported difficult trading
conditions with sales down 10% compared to last year.

These difficult trading conditions have continued in the second quarter. The
improving trend seen at the end of the first quarter was not sustained and
product sales in the second quarter have been below our expectations.

Our Managed Services business has seen continued growth, but at a lower level
than anticipated.

Overall Group sales in the first half will be down approximately 10% on the
first half of last year, however, the final sales outcome will rely heavily on
the last few days of the quarter. These lower sales have further impacted the
rebates we receive. Combined with the sales performance this has had a material
impact on the achieved margins in the first half.

We do not see these trading conditions improving for the rest of 2005 and as a
consequence we expect Computacenter's profit to be substantially below current
market estimates.

Computacenter will be holding its investor and analyst day conference on Tuesday
the 5th of July at which it will give a more detailed analysis of this half's
trading conditions and future strategy.
