Changes of Datacraft's Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Datacraft Asia Ltd ("Datacraft" or the "Company"),
the 51% subsidiary of Dimension Data Holdings plc, wishes to announce the
resignation of its Chairman and Executive Director, Derek Peter Althorp with
effect from 9 May 2002. Mr Althorp will be succeeded by Patrick Keith
Quarmby, an Executive Director of Dimension Data Holdings plc.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Mr Althorp
for his vast and invaluable contribution to the Company during his 14 years
of association with it. During this time, Mr Althorp was instrumental in
driving the growth of the Company from 1988 when it had 20 employees to the
size that it is today. Unfortunately the years of extensive travelling had
extracted a toll on his health and his family has supported his decision to
relinquish all his business engagements and appointments. He will be
retiring in the UK. The Board and all staff members wish Mr Althorp speedy
recovery and happy retirement.
Mr Quarmby was appointed the non-executive Chairman of the Datacraft Board
with effect from 9 May 2002. He has been on Datacraft's Board since 27
November 1997. Mr Quarmby has been involved in the IT Industry since 1996.
Before this he held various executive roles in the Investment Banking
Industry, one of which involved establishing a bank in Asia.
Mr Quarmby will remain based at Dimension Data's South African offices in
Johnnesburg.
