Norbain pre-pack
The current company, Norbain SD Ltd, was bought out of financial administration by Newbury Investments in a pre-pack administration in July this year.
Barry Shakespeare joined Norbain in November 2010 as managing director to take over from group chairman Alun John who had been acting managing director.
Prior to joining Norbain, Shakespeare enjoyed a 30-year career in the IT and telecoms market. He owns a management consultancy business, Pengate Ltd. He was also the executive vice president of the EMEA division of Westcon, an IT/telecoms distribution company, a position he left in February 2009 following a boardroom shake-up.
Prior to that he held senior positions at Marconi Plc and Nortel.
