History

The business was established in a shop in Epsom in 1982.[2] It was acquired by Allied Electronics Corporation (Altron), a company led by the entrepreneur, Bill Venter,[3][4] in 1998.[5] The company was demerged from Altron and was subject to an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in December 2020.[6]

In February 2024, the CEO, Neil Murphy, resigned abruptly after the board became aware of some previously undisclosed trades in the company's shares.[7]

Operations

The company is a reseller of computer software, principally of products made by Microsoft, but also of cloud storage, computer security and computer asset management software.[8] It was the largest reseller of Microsoft's Azure cloud computing software product in the UK during the year ended 30 June 2019.[9]
