The group reveals today that the contracts won late last year and early this year have ridden on the back of “real signs that the upturn the industry has been anticipating is materialising”.

Drager Safety UK’S sales director Alex Duthie hailed a “step change” in training for rescue teams through its Opito-certified assessment centre in Aberdeen,.
