SCC targeting 46% growth

Further to our note on SCC’s FY13 (see SCC reveals "stable" FY13 numbers), we have spent some time with James Rigby, MD of the UK business. For context, the SCC brand was part of the SCH Group, which until last year also included the SDG distribution business – sold to Tech Data (‘Mysterious House of Rigby’ severs distribution arm). SCC is now a £665m technology product and services business – which operates primarily in the UK. With SDG at its new home, the objective now is to build the SCC brand in the market and achieve substantial growth, aided by the funds from the SDG sale.

Of SCC’s £665m revenues, services account for c17%. The services business is worth about £115m in the UK and grew 7% in FY13. About 30% of this business is derived from professional services (e.g. Windows 7 deployments), and the remainder from managed services (i.e. IT support and IT outsourcing). At £115m, SCC as an infrastructure services provider is significantly smaller than Computacenter (£431m), but larger than Logicalis (c£70m).

We examine SCC’s growth plans, its recent contractual successes and its cloud offering in this HotViewsExtra piece – available to subscribers only.
