Mike Norris has refused to pull his punches in CRN interviews down the years. Here we round up 11 of his top zingers from the last decade...
7) ARM and a leg
Soundbite:
"I don't want to wear Union Jack underpants and be all kind of ‘Britain's best', but our IT industry needs any help it can get.
"I'm not for government intervention on many things. But when you've got a company that potentially is the biggest chip manufacturer in the world - it could be better than Intel. And you let foreign buyers have it. And it's exactly the kind of high-end jobs that we should be looking after. I just think any support for British tech for a positive thing."
What was he talking about?
Talking to CRN last week, Norris bemoaned rumours that British chip manufacturer, ARM, was being sold to NVIDIA.
Norris was discussing Computacenter's own international expansion plans and admitted the LSE-listed giant "isn't as big as we want to be" in the US.
