VERTEX, part of Warrington based United Utilities, has won contracts more than £600m during the current financial year.

The contracts mean the company's order book now stands in excess of £1.4b with external contracts accounting for more than £1b.

Vertex is the UK's leading customer management outsourcing company.

Its most recent contract, in the multi-million pounds, was with Companies House.

Vertex managing director, Tom Drury, said the growth in external orders was an endorsement of the company's track record.
