Stephen Davidson, Chairman

Chairman's statement

"This is my first report as Chairman of Datatec, and whilst I am delighted to report continued success in the growth and development of our business, the satisfaction my colleagues and I share is greatly diminished by the untimely death of our previous Chairman, Leslie Boyd, who died on 28 March 2008 after a short illness."

Jens Montanana, Chief Executive Officer

Chief Executive Officer's report

"The spread of activities across these three business streams provides the Group not only with multiple points of leverage in the ICT market, but also with a defensive businesses model with no particular vendor, technology, geography or industry dependency."


"We will continue to target faster growth emerging markets and developing countries, as demonstrated by our recent transactions in Brazil, Turkey and Africa. These markets are attractive because of their often superior growth characteristics and lower cost of entry when compared to more mature markets."
