Naval flags: the contract is worth more than £5m for pennants and signage for the navy
Sign Plus has undergone a long and testing tendering process with the ministry in order to win the contracts for the manufacture and supply of marine flags, ensigns, pennants, signs, and labels for the Royal Navy.
This was a hugely significant win, the largest contract so far undertaken and underpins the continuing growth of the company which has doubled its personnel numbers in recent years”
The company has confirmed that the contracts will mean they will need to take on more staff and say they have already been recruiting new people to cope with the extra work. A spokesperson for the company says: “This was a hugely significant win, the largest contract so far undertaken and underpins the continuing growth of the company which has doubled its personnel numbers in recent years.”
Sign Plus says they already hold the BAE contract to supply safety signage for the two QE Class aircraft carriers under construction at Rosyth dockyard in Scotland signifying the continued growth of the firm that was only started 20 years ago.
