Computacenter Share News (CCC)

(Sharecast News) - B2B tech firm Computacenter has promoted its head of group commercial finance to the chief financial officer position following a nine-month internal and external search.

Keith Mortimer, who has been with the company since 1999 and has held various senior finance and commercial roles, will be appointed CFO on 1 September, some nine months after the exit of former CFO Christian Jehle who stepped down at the end of 2024 by mutual agreement.

Mortimer, a chartered accountant, is said to have played a big part in developing how Computacenter financially forecasts and manages the business, and govern contracts through their lifecycle.

He will be given an annual base salary of £390,000 and be eligible for a bonus award of 150% of salary, half of which will be deferred into shares.

"I look forward to working even more closely with Keith, as he takes up the position of chief financial officer," said chief executive Mike Norris.

"His detailed knowledge of the business from end to end will be invaluable in helping us achieve our growth ambitions for the business, particularly as we continue to make significant investment in our systems, tools and processes to enhance both our operating efficiency and the customer experience".
