Speedy Hire Plc ("Speedy")

New Services Agreement with Babcock International Group ("Babcock")

Speedy, building on its existing longstanding relationship with Babcock, is entering a significant, 3 year services agreement with the company.  The agreement could generate total annual revenues in excess of £10m p.a., although there is no minimum spend commitment by Babcock.

The new agreement will see Speedy support all of the Babcock's UK divisions with an extended range of plant and equipment products and services, making Babcock one of Speedy's most significant customers utilising Speedy's integrated services offering.

Mark Rogerson, newly appointed CEO of Speedy, said:

"This new services agreement builds on the existing support that Speedy already provides to Babcock's Marine & Technology Division. I am delighted that Babcock has given us this opportunity of broadening and deepening our relationship with them".
