Andrew Holden

Andrew has been with the Altron Group for over 20 years, with more than 15 of these at Director and Executive management level. Andrew began his career with Olivetti SA in 1994. In 1997 Olivetti was acquired by Wang Global and the South African operation was renamed Wang Global South Africa. In 1999 Wang Global was acquired by Getronics.

In July of 2001 the South African subsidiary of Getronics was acquired by CS Holdings. Andrew continued to run the ITO Division but was soon elevated to Chief Operating Officer with responsibilities for all services including EUC, ITO, Training and Systems Integration. In November 2004 CS Holdings was acquired by Bytes Technology Group.

In February 2010 after several management changes within Bytes, Andrew was asked to merge three disparate operations into one cohesive organisation delivering multiple solutions to a broad customer base. The three business, Bytes Outsource Services, Bytes Communication Systems and Intelleca, were merged into one organisation that was rebranded Bytes Connect.
