Ingram launches UK components division

Ingram Micro UK yesterday announced a new components division headed up by Pieter Waasdorp. The Components Business Unit is the fourth arm in the distributor's latest business model. Waasdorp, director of the unit, has been at Ingram for five years. He was previously the company's European mass storage business manager. Meinie Oldersma, Ingram Micro MD, said: "Having carefully analysed the components business we believe this marketplace represents an exciting area of opportunity for us." In June, Ingram Micro UK cut staff in its Milton Keynes office by ten per cent as part of its company re-jig. ®
